Published to accompany the exhibition “Miguel Rio Branco Photographs 1968-1992” at Le Bal in Paris that examines the first period of the Brazilian artist’s work, a major figure of contemporary art in his country, known worldwide for his installations and multimedia works. Starting with early black and white work (1970-72) of New York on the Lower East Side, the East Village and the Bowery when Rio Branco moved there, at the age of twenty, to study photography. This survey also includes some of his best known work taken on his return to his native Brazil when he lived in the northeastern region of the country, with its emerald prospectors, and then in the Pelourinhno neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia, documenting marginalized families and prostitutes.
