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.
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.
Established in 2000 in New York City, Sundaram Tagore Gallery represents established and emerging artists from around the globe, specialising in work that is aesthetically and intellectually rigorous, infused with humanism and art historically significant. The gallery was founded with a mission to show that some of the best and most meaningful art was being created by artists deeply engaged in cross-cultural explorations. Our international roster of artists cross cultural and national boundaries, synthesising Western visual language with forms, techniques and philosophies from Asia, the Subcontinent and the Middle East. More than twenty years later, we continue to champion artists, particularly women and those from underrepresented cultures, whose work exemplifies our interconnectedness.
