Graciela Iturbide. Retrospective (1969-2008)

The Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City presents a wide-ranging retrospective of photographer Graciela Iturbide, the recent winner of the Hasselblad Award. The exhibition is part of the activities that the Fundación Mapfre is organizing in nearly 30 countries across Latin America. Entitled Graciela Iturbide. Retrospective (1969-2008), the exhibition represents a visual survey that covers 40 years of work by one of Mexico¿s most important contemporary artists. Consisting of 180 images, the show was curated by Martha Dahó, who affirms that the exhibition proposes "a transversal journey that showcases Iturbide's earliest works as well as her most recent ones." The exhibition has already been in many countries around the world, like at the Fundación Mapfre¿s exhibition space in Madrid, the Fotomuseum in Winterthur, the Centro José Guerrero in Granada, the Casal Solleric in Palma, Mallorca, and at the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. Following its three month presentation at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City (June 19, 2011), the exhibition will travel to France as part of the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival.
