Michel Ghatan (Swiss, b. 1975) The Snows of Kilimanjaro IV, Amboseli, Kenya, 2021 Oversized digital pigment print 55-1/2 x 83-1/2 inches (141.0 x 212.1 cm) (image) 60 x 96 inches (sheet) Signed and editioned 2/5 in ink, lower margin recto. This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Like photographers Peter Beard (whose work is offered in the following few lots), Nick Brandt, and Sebastião Salgado, Michel Ghatan is deeply committed to raising awareness of the ongoing threat to East African wildlife. His monumental portraits of these magnificent creatures evoke a profound emotional connection in us, revealing their dignity, beauty and individuality. At a time when our planet seems increasingly fragile and dystopian, Michel's technically flawless and evocative photographs serve as a powerful reminder of why it is essential that we fight for the preservation of the natural world and its inhabitants.
