Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico) is one of the most important photographers of her generation. This is the first retrospective in New York for this groundbreaking figure and will feature nearly fifty years of work.
Renowned for her depictions of the native cultures of Mexico, Iturbide traveled extensively throughout her career, within and beyond Mexico, using her camera as a tool for connection and the acquisition of knowledge. Hovering between the documentary and the poetic, her unique way of seeing the world depicts a complex web of historical, social and cultural references that hover between dream and reality.
This exhibition is curated by Carlos Gollonet, Fundación MAPFRE.
