Gypsies By Patrick Cariou

The result is both captivating and intriguing, showing the diversity in terms of ethnic types in the various clans and differences in living conditions, from bling loving Manouches in France to extremely poor Roms in Slovakia to blonde, blue-eyed children in Afghanistan. Cariou’s documentary approach in his work succeeds again in sharing his fascination for people on the margins of society. Known for his previous equally stunning monograph projects, "Surfers" and "Yes Rasta", Patrick Cariou recently won a lawsuit against Richard Prince who used his photographs in his own art without permission, creating a commove in the artworld.
"Gypsies" by Patrick Cariou is published by Powerhouse Books.
