In
Memorium Van-Leo:
From its first exhibition of his work in 1996,
Sony Gallery has played a major role in the revival of interest in Cairo photographer
Van-Leo, and his photographs of Cairo's twentieth-century celebrities occupy a
prominent place in the Gallery's archives, along with selected critical writings.
Now, following his death in March 2002, Sony Gallery offers three memorial essays
by Abdallah Schleifer, Negar Azimi, and Nigel Ryan and a late interview with the
master, by Akram Zaatari.
