LONDON.- Michael Hoppen Gallery will present Mirella Ricciardi, on view 21st February – 5th April 2008. Forty years ago Mirella Ricciardi travelled through Kenya and Sudan to photograph some of the last unspoilt tribes of Africa. She returned with a unique collection of visceral photographs that formed her seminal book Vanishing Africa (1971), an international bestseller. The Michael Hoppen Gallery are delighted to announce an exhibition of both iconic and previously unseen photographs taken in Africa by Ricciardi - none of which have been exhibited in the United Kingdom for more than 35 years.
