The Czech photographer Miroslav Tichy passed away two days ago; he was 85 years old.
I had met him in 2009 and I had done some work on his photographs. I wrote this (in French) regarding his exhibition at Pompidou

His neighbour, friend and caretaker Jana Hebnarova has now the charge to defend his memory and his name against greed and other tentatives to use his work
