London Exhibition

22nd February 2008 to 5th April 2008 - The Michael Hoppen Gallery are delighted to announce an exhibition of both iconic and previously unseen photographs by Ricciardi - none of which have been exhibited in the United Kingdom for more than 35 years.

Forty years ago Mirella Ricciardi travelled through Kenya and Sudan to photograph some of the last untouched tribes in East Africa. She returned with a unique collection of visceral photographs that formed her seminal book Vanishing Africa (1971), an international bestseller that is still in great demand. The Michael Hoppen Gallery are delighted to announce an exhibition of both iconic and previously unseen photographs by Ricciardi - none of which have been exhibited in the United Kingdom for more than 35 years. Many photographs in the exhibition, although worthy, did not make the final layout for the book, and will be seen for the very first time as large, limited edition platinum prints. Renowned printmakers, 31 Studio, have produced the oversize hand made platinum prints for the exhibition.
