Sebastião Salgado. Workers. Art Edition No. 1–100 ‘Fishermen, Trapani, Italy, 1991’ (English)

This Art Edition (No. 1–100) includes the signed print Fishermen, Trapani, Sicily, Italy (1991) by Sebastião Salgado, reproduced as an archival fiber-based gelatin silver print. It is accompanied by the numbered and signed hardcover volume Workers, housed in a clamshell box.

Sebastião Salgado’s photographs present an archaeological perspective on manual labour, shedding light on practices which endured from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution and up to the present day. He created an elegy to outmoded traditions and the dignity and fortitude of those working in the face of the most dangerous conditions.
