Description

On The Way. Switzerland, 1973.

“In 1972, I set off with my wife, year-old daughter and 70-pound dog to find a better place in the world to live than the United States. I had moved to New York City to earn some money for the journey, but after six months we had very little. What I thought was an opportunity for my interactive music films came up, and we left for France with only $500 and promises from people who owed me money. Neither materialized and I found myself at the beginning of a six-year odyssey, sometimes hitchhiking, sometimes staying with kind people we met by chance, and sometimes traveling and living in a variety of vehicles — from a tiny Dutch car to an old 40-passenger bus converted for living.

“We traveled and lived in ten different countries, earning money wherever we were, some from photos I took sharing the beauty of my wife and children, and some from making and teaching candlemaking as art — but always a struggle to have enough necessities and the fuel to take us to the next place on our journey. This photo was taken when we stopped along a road in Switzerland, on our way to Spain from Germany.”

Square Print Sale: Odyssey

Magnum Photos partners with The Photographers’ Gallery for the March 2026 Square Print Sale, Odyssey. Odyssey is more than a journey — it is a search for meaning, a crossing of thresholds, a story of growth and resilience. It is the pull of the unknown: the road ahead, the distance behind, the moments that change us along the way.


Spanning continents and decades, Odyssey traces both physical and emotional paths, from epic migrations to quiet reckonings of the self. Moving through borders, memory, and time, the collection reflects the enduring power of photography to bear witness, to connect personal stories with larger histories, and to illuminate the journeys that shape who we are, and what we come to understand.


Over 100 signed or estate-stamped, museum-quality 6x6” prints will be available online for one week, priced from $110/£110/€120.

The Odyssey Square Print Sale runs Monday, March 23 at 9 a.m. ET and ends Sunday, March 29 at 11:59 p.m.
