Silver gelatin print on baryta paper - Signed
Ex-collection of Françoise Huguier (Paris, France)
Born in 1936 in Soloba, Mali. Died in Bamako in April 2016. Of Malick Sidibé's work, one first knows the documentary photographs, taken at surprise parties organized by young people fond of music and freedom as the country prepares for independence.
In 1962, he opens the “Studio Malick” in Bamako. The studio portraiture will constitute the major part of his work. People come from everywhere to have their portrait taken by the eye of Bamako… Noticed at the first Rencontres de la Photographie de Bamako, he is exhibited at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, then in the great galleries and museums of the world. He received the Hasselblad Prize in 2003 and then the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2007.
