Press Release

Explore the work of Sebastião Salgado, one of the most influential photographers working today. Salgado is acclaimed worldwide for his breathtaking landscapes, images of endangered wildlife and documentary projects on indigenous peoples. He lays bare, with intense humanity and sensitivity, inequality and the fragility of the natural world.

This exhibition includes images from Genesis, Salgado’s epic series that’s been called a love letter to the Earth. Select works are also on view at our Chelsea location. This show is an extraordinary opportunity to collect some of Salgado’s most iconic photographs.

The artist’s latest project, documenting indigenous communities that inhabit the Amazon’s endangered rainforests, will debut later this year in a multi-city tour.

About the Artist

Sebastião Salgado is Brazilian-born photographer based in Paris. He has made it his life’s work to document the impact of globalization on humankind. His hauntingly beautiful black-and-white prints lay bare some of the bleakest moments of modern history, telling the story of Vietnamese boat people, Rwandan refugees, Indian coffee growers, and countless other impoverished individuals.

About the Gallery
Established in 2000, Sundaram Tagore Gallery is devoted to examining the exchange of ideas between Western and non-Western cultures. We focus on developing exhibitions and hosting not-for-profit events that encourage spiritual, social and aesthetic dialogues. In a world where communication is instant and cultures are colliding and melding as never before, our goal is to provide venues for art that transcend boundaries of all sorts. With alliances across the globe, our interest in cross-cultural exchange extends beyond the visual arts into many other disciplines, including poetry, literature, performance art, film and music.
