Joel Meyerowitz: Pool, Storm, Provincetown, Massachusetts, 1976

“It was midafternoon when a sudden storm from the north swept its darkness over the tip of Cape Cod. I watched the change in the light and felt in myself the immediate emotions it brought with it as this motel pool began to softly glow against the slightly lavender gray of the storm. I’m still amazed by the way we can be influenced by the weather and the light, and how a photograph can convey that feeling within us.”—Joel Meyerowitz

This picture of a pool just before the arrival of a storm appears in Cape Light and is available as a special print offer in support of Aperture’s nonprofit programs. 

When Joel Meyerowitz first published Cape Light, he transformed the art world. His contemplative, luminous images proved once and for all that color photography belongs in the realm of fine art—not just commercial snapshots.

Now, nearly half a century after those iconic summers on the Cape, this masterwork is back in print in Aperture’s beautifully remastered, larger-format edition. To celebrate this upcoming fiftieth anniversary milestone, we are launching an exclusive print sale to bring the stunning, natural light of Cape Cod straight to your walls.

Whether you are a lifelong collector or purchasing your very first piece of fine art photography, we have made these legendary views accessible to everyone. Each print is available for only $130, or, as part of an ultimate summer bundle, you can acquire the complete set of three prints, along with a copy of the newly reprinted book, at a special price of $360. Each print was produced under the artist’s supervision by Laumont Photographics, his long-standing master printer in New York. 

Time is limited: Like the perfect summer vacation, this offer won’t last forever. Sale ends on July 21.

Every purchase supports the artists and conversations shaping the future of photography.
