Tutte le aste / Altro / Sanlé Sory (1943–2023) - Funki Man - 1974


Stamped and signed. Sory Sanlé is a Burkinabé photographer, born in 1943 in Nianiagara in the Republic of Upper Volta. Ibrahima Sanlé Sory arrived in Bobo-Dioulasso in 1957. Having become a journalist and photographer, he also did sleeve illustrations for records. He opened his Volta Photo studio in 1962, as his country gained independence. He bought a Rolleiflex 6×6, and began by taking identity photographs and road-accident photographs for the local police. Soon, he gained notoriety in Bobo-Dioulasso, which was then the cultural and economic capital of the former Upper Volta, where young Africans “hungry for modernity” came to “have their portrait taken.” Produced between 1960 and 1985, his photographic work “testifies to the happiness of a regained freedom and to a social and cultural effervescence unique of its kind.” Exhibitions 2015: Folk art African, Fonds régional d’art contemporain de Bordeaux. 2015: À la rencontre de la photographie africaine, médiathèque de Mérignac. 2018: Retrospective, Art Institute of Chicago. 2020: Tête à Têtes - West African Portraiture from Independence into the 21st Century, David Hill Gallery, London. 2020: Bobo Yéyé, Sanlé Sory, Galerie du Château d’Eau, Toulouse.
