109. SIDIBE, Malick.<br />
‘Yokoro’.<br />
1968. Silver gelatin print. Signed in manuscript, titled and dated<br />
2007. Dimensions: 500 by 600mm. (19.5 by 23.5 inches).<br />
Malick Sidibé’s photographs are comprised mainly<br />
of studio portraits and photo coverage of life in<br />
Mali. His work on the streets of Bamako signals an<br />
important moment in the evolution of photography<br />
in West Africa in the 1960s and ‘70s. Moving away<br />
from the ingrained, Western image of a devastated<br />
Africa, Sidibé aimed to capture the verve and<br />
frenzy of Malian culture. His studio photography<br />
is quirky, yet glamorous using unusual backdrops<br />
and patterned fabrics which are emblematic of his<br />
studio compositions.<br />
