Marc Riboud, ‘Klaus Barbie Trial’, Lyon, France

1987. Vintage silver gelatin photograph, titled, dated and signed in ink in lower margin, 23.6 x 23.4cm. Minor cracks to left edge of image, slight foxing to lower margin.

Depicts Magnum photojournalist Marc Riboud (French, 1923-2016), who at the time of this photograph, had left Magnum and was taking images relating to the trial of Klaus Barbie, the head of the Gestapo in Lyons, who was responsible for the deaths of Riboud’s relatives.

In 1983 Peter Adams embarked on a project to photograph international and Australian master photographers, creating a collection of about 500 Personages over a 30 year period. Adams stated that at times it was challenging to photograph various photographers while they were on assignment and that “to work with him [Marc Riboud] I had to sleep in a train corridor and travel with him to Lyon. I wasn’t planning to but the train left early and I got stuck on it!” Ref: Who Shot That? A Few Of The World’s Legendary Photographers, 2005, p87; Telegraph(UK), 6.9.16.

A non-vintage version of this photograph is available on request for $990.
