Between the Alps and the Amalfi, the Hollywood Hills and Palm Beach, Slim Aarons spent half a century capturing beauty in its most unguarded form. His camera transformed leisure into legacy—a vision of elegance that continues to define the art of living well.
→ Getty Images Partnership
Mimesis works directly with the Getty Images Gallery, the exclusive publisher of Slim Aarons estate editions. The Getty archive preserves Aarons’ original transparencies and negatives, ensuring that each new print maintains the tonal fidelity and production quality of his lifetime work.
Every print is produced, approved, and certified by the Getty Images Gallery, following rigorous color-matching and archival standards. Through this partnership, Mimesis provides collectors access to genuine estate editions unavailable through unauthorized channels—offering the highest level of authenticity, documentation, and long-term value.
→ Framing
Our Slim Aarons estate prints are available in a range of museum-quality framing options, handcrafted by master framers in the U.S., U.K., and E.U. Each frame is built using archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing to preserve the artwork for decades.
Collectors may choose from a curated selection of frame profiles—natural ash, black, or white hardwood finishes—paired with conservation-grade mats and spacers for a clean, timeless presentation.
Framed works arrive ready to hang, complete with fixings and protective packaging. Please allow approximately 4–6 weeks for framed orders and 7–10 days for loose prints. Custom framing consultations are available upon request.
