We have a number of iconic Malick Sidibe photographs in our current African Contemporary Photography Auction. Through his studio photography, which became increasingly popular, and by covering the city’s parties and social events, Sidibé captured the energy and excitement of the cultural and social shift that was taking place in Mali in the late 1950s through to the mid-1970s. Studio photography and portraiture played an important role in crystallising a sense of identity and individuality amongst many Africans during this era, as well giving Sidibe a means to express his own voice through his unique photographic style and personal viewfinder of Mali.
