Auer 666 (spanische Ausgabe). Koetzle, Fotografen A-Z 342 f. – Erste Ausgabe der zweiten Veröffentlichung des berühmten Brasilianischen Fotografen. Im selben Jahr erschienen auch eine amerikanische Ausgabe in New York. Die erste Veröffentlichung „Fotografias“ erschien 1982 in Rio de Janeiro. – „En 1986, paraissait le premier livre Autres Amériques de Sebastião Salgado aux éditions Contrejour, un ensemble de photographies, fruit de nombreux voyages entre 1977 et 1984 qui revisitaient l’Amérique Latine en évoquant la persistance des cultures paysannes et indiennes. La force de conviction des photographies en noir et blanc, leur puissance plastique, la maquette de Lélia Salgado présentant la plupart des images en doubles pages participèrent au succès de ce livre qui reçut le Prix du Premier Livre Photo, fut édité en quatre langues puis épuisé en quelques mois. Ce livre devenu mythique au fil du temps, est enfin publié à nouveau accompagné des textes originaux de l’époque de Sebastião Salgado, Alan Riding, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester et d’un texte de Claude Nori racontant sa genèse. Par son œuvre monumentale en noir et blanc sur des projets pensés sur le long terme, par la puissance esthétique de ses photographies, son engagement auprès des populations opprimées et son combat en faveur de la planète, Sebastião Salgado est aujourd’hui le maître incontesté du reportage dans la tradition humaniste“ (Éditions Contrejour). – Sehr gutes Exemplar.
First edition of the second publication by the famous Brazilian photographer. An American edition was also published in New York in the same year. The first publication, ‘Fotografias’, appeared in Rio de Janeiro in 1982. – „In 1986, Sebastião Salgado’s first book, Autres Amériques, was published by Contrejour, a collection of photographs taken during numerous trips between 1977 and 1984, revisiting Latin America and evoking the persistence of peasant and Indian cultures. The persuasive power of the black-and-white photographs, their visual impact, and Lélia Salgado’s layout, with most of the images presented across double pages, contributed to the success of this book, which received the Prix du Premier Livre Photo, was published in four languages, and sold out in a few months. This book, which has become legendary over time, is finally being republished, accompanied by the original texts from the time by Sebastião Salgado, Alan Riding, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester and a text by Claude Nori recounting its genesis. Through his monumental black-and-white work on long-term projects, the aesthetic power of his photographs, his commitment to oppressed populations and his fight for the planet, Sebastião Salgado is today the undisputed master of reportage in the humanist tradition“ (Éditions Contrejour). – Very good copy.
