Osvaldo Salas Photos for Sale
This is almost certainly the last time there will be a major sale of photos that were taken, hand-printed & signed by
Osvaldo Salas. During the last twenty years of his life, because of a shortage of photographic materials in Cuba, he usually
printed and signed photos only when they had been ordered and when the would-be purchaser arrived in Havana, as I did,
with boxes of photographic paper.
OSVALDO SALAS (1914-1992) is widely recognized as having been one of the world's great press photographers. His international
fame came not just from the quality of his work but also because he was so often in the right place at the right time.
He received many awards, diplomas and honours for his photography, including being acclaimed, in 1983, an International
Master of Photography by the International Press Association.
All the photos offered for sale by Collectors' Post were hand-printed by Osvaldo Salas and signed, titled & (normally)
dated by him on the back. Their authenticity is UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED. Photos are mat, unless otherwise stated.
Many Osvaldo Salas photos are now listed on Collectors' Post. To browse through them, either search for "Osvaldo Salas" or click
here. All purchasers will receive a free copy of the catalogue
for the exhibition of Salas photos held in Camerino, Italy, from June 20 to July 4, 1992 (the first retrospective international exhibition after his death).
To find out more about Osvaldo Salas, see a copy of my article 'The Man in Havana', published by
the Professional Photographer in November, 1990.
