Footnotes: Provenance Serena Morton II, London Literature Sory Sanlé, Sory Sanlé: Volta Photo 1965-85, Morton Hill Gallery, 2017, p. 77 Note 'Some of my customers were keen to travel in order to leave a souvenir behind them for their families as well as an escape from reality. It mostly didn't work out as they could only travel as far as Mali or the Ivory Coast, a very popular place for Voltaic people. But most of the time, they just pretended to travel. I had this airplane design made in Bouaké in the Ivory Coast by a Ghanaian painter. I would also find most of my photographic material in Bouaké when I took the train. This airplane background conveyed a true sense of departure.' - Sory Sanlé, Sory Sanlé: Volta Photo 1965-85, 2017 For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
