Rare Ansel Adams Coffee Can Highlights August 12 Photographs Auction Ansel Adams’ Winter Morning, Yosemite Valley, California is among the photographer’s most recognizable landscapes, celebrated for its crystalline light, sweeping composition, and masterful rendering of Yosemite’s winter grandeur. In 1969, Hills Bros. Coffee commissioned Adams to adapt the image for a limited-edition coffee can, transforming an everyday household object into an unexpected canvas for one of America’s greatest photographic artists. The collaboration reflected the growing appreciation of Adams’ work beyond the museum and gallery, introducing his iconic imagery to millions of homes while underscoring his influence on American visual culture. Today these commemorative cans, one of which is available in our August 12 Depth of Field: Photographs Showcase Auction, occupy a unique place at the intersection of photography, graphic design, and commercial history.
