Offered as part of the Printed Matter Benefit Auction, this singular work by Paul Mpagi Sepuya takes the form of a commissioned portrait session conducted at the artist's Los Angeles studio, resulting in a finished archival print measuring 24 by 16 inches. Sepuya has built one of the most considered and theoretically rigorous bodies of work in contemporary photography, transforming the studio itself into a subject, a site of negotiation, and an intimate social space. A portrait commission with Sepuya is not a transactional service but an extension of his ongoing artistic inquiry, in which the relationships between photographer, sitter, and camera become the generative material of the image. The collector who acquires this lot does not simply receive a photograph; they participate in its making. The process is carefully structured to preserve the integrity of Sepuya's vision. Following the sitting, a select group of portrait options is chosen by the artist and delivered to the client within approximately one month. Upon confirmation of the final image, the studio moves promptly to print production. The edition is strictly limited to a unique 1/1 print, with a single artist's proof reserved by the studio, ensuring the resulting work carries both singular value and the full weight of Sepuya's authorship. Printing is included in the acquisition, while framing and shipping are coordinated through approved partners and invoiced separately to the collector. For those who collect photography with an understanding of conceptual lineage and critical depth, this commission represents a rare opportunity to enter into direct creative dialogue with one of the most important artists working in the medium today. The work will originate and ship from Los Angeles, California, with logistics handled in close coordination between the studio and a participating gallery.
