Albert Watson, Alou Aminatou, 13 years old, and Gouda Baké, 15 years old, Daoura, Benin, 2011.
On the occasion of the exhibition VISIONS – FEAT. COTTON MADE IN AFRICA Albert Watson made a personal selection of 12 images of iconic character from the Benin series, which was especially produced for this show. Each print is available in two different sizes, as a unique pigment print, signed, and numbered. In addition, Albert Watson chose another image from this series exclusively for the small-format “Jahresgabe” (Annual Edition) of the Deichtorhallen. The edition is produced in New York by Albert Watson himself.
