Polka gallery is proud to present Sebastião Salgado’s “Gold”, an exhibition featuring thirty photographs, most of them exhibited for the first time, from one of the artist’s most significant series. In September 1986, after years of refusal, Salgado finally received authorization from the Brazilian military authorities to visit Serra Pelada (“Naked Mountain” in English), located in the north Brazilian state of Pará. Tens of thousands of hopefuls swarmed to the teeming open pit of a gold mine in search of El Dorado.
