Ingram Publisher Services Adds Aperture
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) March 01, 2016 -- Ingram Publisher Services Inc., an Ingram Content Group company, today announced the addition of Aperture to its publisher client list.
Mark Ouimet, vice president and general manager, Ingram Publisher Services, said, “We admire Aperture for their leading role in connecting the photo community with the most inspiring work and are delighted to welcome them as a client of Ingram Publisher Services.”
Aperture has signed with Ingram for sales and distribution to the book trade beginning on July 30.
Aperture has been a leading voice in the photography world since 1952. Founded by a roll call of the medium’s notable figures, including Minor White, Beamont Newhall, Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, Aperture initially published only its quarterly magazine.
They began to publish a list of photobooks in the 1960s, quickly establishing their reputation as the great American photography publisher, now with 700 books on their list, including first books by Diane Arbus, Sally Mann and Nan Goldin.
Aperture today publishes about 30 new books each year in a list that combines the work of emerging artists alongside photography’s classics, and with an extensive backlist. Aperture magazine continues to lead its field, tackling major themes of the medium today.
“We’re a growing publisher,” says Chris Boot, Aperture’s Executive Director. “We’re where we are today because of the work of the incredible team at DAP, who have been a great distributor for us for the last decade. We truly appreciate the role they’ve played in our history and development. But as we contemplate the challenges and opportunities ahead of us, in a changing retail environment, and with a strong niche list, we are thrilled to begin working with the Ingram team. Photography’s such an exciting place right now, with so many new enthusiasts and many great opportunities to build our audience. Our job is to inspire people to take their interest in photography further, through meaningful and authentic publications, and we believe Ingram is the right partner for us for the next decade.”
Aperture also announces the appointment of Richard Gregg as its new sales director, books. Richard comes to Aperture after four years as director of retail sales operations at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and, before that, seven years in various roles, including business development manager at Phaidon Press.
