Framing

Eve Arnold: Malcolm X. We recommend book-mounting this print in a wide passe-partout and then framing it in a black wooden box. This classic method not only gives visual priority to the image but also fits seamlessly into most interiors. However, if you prefer a different look, other framing options are also available. Additionally, to ensure the highest levels of production, all of our frames are handcrafted to museum standards by one of the UK’s leading workshops. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.

Shipping

We aim to ship unframed works within 2 weeks and framed works within 6 weeks. All orders are shipped from the UK and we always strive to deliver your print as quickly as possible. However, the delivery times may vary, depending on the specific artwork and your location. For exact details, please get in touch. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.

Artwork In Detail

In 1960, LIFE magazine commissioned Eve Arnold to photograph Malcolm X, then a rising figure in the Nation of Islam, a Black nationalist movement advocating for a separatist and self-sufficient society. Over the course of a year, Arnold followed members to meetings and rallies, capturing Malcolm X not only as a charismatic leader but as a man of depth and complexity. Her compelling body of work documents the vitality and dynamism of the Black Muslims during a turbulent era in American racial politics, running parallel to the broader Civil Rights movement. Presented in collaboration with Magnum Photos.
