Hi, Leica Gallery Prague finally succeeded in organising second Salgado exhibition here, after several years and aftere our damned President (_not_ Havel!) declared Prague Castle unfit for any art like Salgado or World music festival... ousting Leica Gallery out of it.
So, they chose to make the exhibition on wheels... and tracks! It's in a train! How fitting to Salgado's photographs! The train stays at each city for a week, then goes to another. I couldn't be at the vernisage, sadly, but here are few photographs from the exhibition itself, to show you how it looked. http://www.frantisekvlcek.com/temp/salgado It was very good of course. Salgado's printer/s are excellent, and his exhibitions always show why even 35mm B&W is grades better than any B&W converted digital mush. You could see great detail and tonality on even A1 sized prints. And of course even the blurred and not best sharp photographs were great, who cares :) All in all, a great exhibition, again. I am just extremely sorry I missed Mister himself, who was at the vernisage. BTW, IIRC, his latest work, Genesis is done with Pentax 645... Good light! fra
