Sebastião Salgado

This volume presents an anthology of Sebastião Salgado's photographic work, celebrating an artist whose unique vision has left a lasting mark on the history of photography and transformed the way we see the world.
Bringing together more than 160 photographs from the collections of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, this book draws on the holdings of the renowned French institution to which Sebastião and Lélia Wanick Salgado donated the photographer's complete body of work.
For twenty-five years, Salgado documented the chaos of the world, capturing its profound social, environmental, and economic transformations. He later turned his attention to revealing the planet's primordial beauty through photographic projects devoted to natural landscapes and, in particular, to majestic yet fragile ecosystems such as glaciers.
