Gold

For a decade, Serra Pelada evoked the long-promised El Dorado as the world s largest open-air gold mine, employing some 50,000 diggers in appalling conditions. Today, Brazil s gold rush is merely the stuff of legend, kept alive by a few happy memories, many pained regrets and Sebastião Salgado s photographs. This collection is a major document of modern history and an extraordinary photographic portfolio.
