Works by the photojournalist Tim Hetherington, who was
killed in Libya last year, are on show at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York
(until 19 May), which now represents his estate.
“Tim had been interested in showing some of his work in a
gallery, but when he died we were all too shocked to even think about doing an
exhibition,” Yossi Milo says. “Later, though, I showed his family our emails
and they were excited. His estate has been a real discovery. He was working
constantly and there are hundreds of self-portraits which no one knew he was
producing.”
Hetherington died alongside fellow journalist Chris Hondros
during an attack by Gaddafi’s forces in Misurata on 20 April. The exhibition
focuses on his work from Liberia
and Afghanistan
