Slim Aarons’ iconic photography is synonymous with mid-century glamour, jet-set luxury, and timeless style. As demand for his work continues to grow, collectors increasingly ask:
How do you authenticate an original Slim Aarons photograph before buying?
If you’re investing in a Slim Aarons print, knowing what to look for - and who to trust - is essential.
Buy Authentic Slim Aarons Prints From an Official Getty Images Partner
The most important factor in authenticating Slim Aarons photography is the seller. Slim Aarons’ archive is represented exclusively by Getty Images Gallery, which controls access to the original negatives and transparencies held in its London archive. Getty Images Gallery publicly lists its trusted partners and authorised distributors worldwide.
FINEPRINTCO is proudly listed on the Getty Images Gallery “Where to Buy” trusted partners and authentication page, confirming that every Slim Aarons print we offer is fully authorised and authentic.
Authentic Slim Aarons prints originate from the Getty Images Gallery archive and are distributed through official partners and their authorised reseller networks. When provenance cannot be clearly traced back to this source, authenticity cannot be fully assured.
