Graciela Iturbide

Born in 1942 in Mexico City, Graciela Iturbide studied cinema and then took up photography with Manuel Álvarez Bravo in the early 1970s. Following him on his travels through Latin America and inspired by the work of Josef Koudelka and Henri Cartier-Bresson, she forged her own vision and gradually created a unique artistic work. Her photographs have been exhibited extensively in Mexico and in international museums, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1982, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1990, the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo in Monterrey, the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1996, and the Tate Modern in London in 2013. She is the laureate of the W. Eugene Smith Prize in 1987, the Higashikawa Prize in 1990, and the Hasselblad Prize in 2008.
