U.S collector Richard Baron Cohen has scheduled ‘Raffinesse & Eleganz’, an exhibition in Berlin, displaying more than 150 pieces hand painted from 303 photographs. What made this exhibition special is the fact that those photographs were captured by the cameraman on his year-long tour to picture hippos in 101 zoos in 33 countries.
