Overview

This beautiful oversized Modern Replica is made using the very latest digital technologies to provide a large print-on-demand work of art.

Modern Replicas were born from the desire of the artist's family to create a collection of Ansel Adams prints that showcased the artist throughout his career and delivered at a level of quality comparable to an original. The collection of Modern Replicas span Ansel's lifetime of exploration in Yosemite, and also beyond to the remote wonders of the Southwest, the expanses of Alaska, the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and the coastlines of California and New England. Each black and white replica is reproduced directly from an original photograph by Ansel Adams, and carefully crafted to mirror the photograph's brilliance and richness in contrast and tone.

Exclusively from The Ansel Adams Gallery, these digitally-mastered prints leverage modern technologies, not available during Ansel's lifetime, in order to allow more people the enjoyment of owning and displaying an Ansel Adams piece. Available in a variety of sizes, up to 40x50 inches, Modern Replicas offer the flexibility to enhance both the larger and more intimate spaces of your home. Modern Replicas will stand the test of time. Made with museum-quality materials estimated to last over 180 years, their heavy paper mimics the look and feel of gelatin silver paper, and multiple pigments reflect the tones and highlights of Ansel's original works. Each replica can be finished with a custom frame of your choice, arriving at your home ready to hang. Authorized by the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, this collection ranges in price from from $149 to $1,899 depending on size and framing.

Join us in celebrating a full range of some of Ansel's finest work, featuring America's wild places, its national parks, and its great mountain ranges. As an owner of an Ansel Adams Modern Replica, you become a part of the story behind these images—of wildness and wilderness, that spans generations and continues to inspire us today—to see, revere, and protect the Earth.

About this Image

Towering over Colorado’s wild Elk Mountain range, the Maroon Bells are some of the Rocky Mountain States’ most striking alpine features. True to their name, the bell shaped peaks glow a vivid purple in the pre-dawn or pre-dusk light, thanks to the unique sandstone that colors the mountains maroon.

Ansel Adams made this photo in 1951, while traveling to one of the first meetings of the Aspen Institute, a gathering of intellectuals and artists set amidst Colorado’s natural beauty. Amongst the attendees slated to appear at the 1951 gathering were Dorothea Lange, the documentary photographer and photojournalist, Ben Shahn, the social realist painter, and Berenice Abbott, whose iconic photographs of New York City became some of its defining images of the 20th century. Though Ansel took plenty of time to discuss art and photography with his fellow creators—including a conversation that would lead to the founding of Aperture magazine, the nation’s first creative photography journal—he wouldn’t be Ansel if he didn’t sneak away to
make a few photographs. Hosting the Institute amidst some of the most geologically fascinating features of the West would have been a siren song impossible to ignore, and Ansel soon found himself in the White River National Forest, ten miles west of Aspen, gazing upon the Maroon Bells. Read More
