Painted Frames

Sidibé's portraits returned to the hand-painted glass-and-card frames he had made for them, so that the border is as much the work as the picture. The frames came out of a collaboration with the artist Cheickna Touré and his sons, begun in the early 2000s. The cover carries the signage of Sidibé's own Bamako studio.

Photographs by Malick Sidibé in frames painted with Cheickna Touré and his sons.
