Billionaire Michael Dell’s investment firm, MSD Capital LP, has acquired about 185,000 vintage photographic prints from the Magnum Photos agency in what is thought to be among the largest photo transactions in history. While no price was disclosed, the collection has been insured for more than $100 million. The photos will be loaned for five years to the Harry Ransom Center, a humanities research library and museum at the University of Texas at Austin.
