Marc Riboud’s Tibet Series
Marc Riboud, one of the great names of the Magnum photography agency, is best known for his extensive reports on the East.
Riboud values authenticity, and thinks of the photographer as an existential traveler. Remarkable for their spontaneity and harmony, his Eastern series are rich in encounters and portraits of citizens who pause long enough to give some account of themselves, while his color photographs give sweeping views of untouched nature and chaotic urban life.
Our sale of Marc Riboud’s work was curated by the artist himself, and is live on artnet Auctions for bidding, only until June 14, 2012.
