Michael Riley at the Gallery shop

In conjunction with Michael Riley: sights unseen Stills Gallery has released a special edition of the Sacrifice series as a boxed set, on behalf of The Michael Riley Foundation.

Riley produced this series of 15 photographs in 1992, and initiated this edition before his death. The series marks his move into a more symbolic expression (after working in a black and white documentary and portraiture tradition), which continued with two later series flyblown, 1998 and cloud, 2000.

The sets are available for sale through the Gallery shop. Please call 1800 808 337 for further information.
