Sebastião Salgado Gold: Serra Pelada Gold Mine / Goldmine Serra Pelada / Mine...

Recently added this book to my Sebastiao Salgado collection of four. It is beautifully printed as are all of his other books and it includes images that Workers does not have. If you are a fan of Salgado's work, this is a worthy book to own.

Sebastião Salgado is not just a great photographer, he is a great philanthropist. It shows in his work as he dives deep into the lives of his subjects.

Incredible story and the photos - while beautiful with details, repetition, contrasts in blk & white - show the heartbreaking lives of tens of thousands of workers. You will never forget them once viewed.

Very good book codition!! Thank you!!

The writing provided the context of the why and how Salgado’s pic’s matter

Ein ganz hervorragendes Fotobuch. Salgado ist ein brasilianischer Fotograf, der in Schwarzweiß arbeitet. Seine Bilder über die Goldförderung in riesigen Gruben sind außerordentlich eindrucksvoll und können mit seinem berühmten Bildband Genesis mithalten. Ich halte ihn für einen der besten Fotografen der Gegenwart. Ich kann einem Kauf nur zuraten.

This is an engrossing and absorbing piece of reportage that straddles the boundary into photographic art. Sebastiao Salgado alternates between the dehumanising nature of the labours’ work in the gold mine, when he shows us the scale of the excavation and the ant-like mass of tens of thousands of workers, then focuses on individuals in which we can see the overwhelming desire of men who have gambled all on one single chance of wealth. The reproduction of the images is first class, even though there will be those who will complain about images crossing the page gutters. There is also a short, but fascinating, introduction by Salgado. A masterpiece, and a must for any collection of photographic reportage and art.
