Graciela lturbide (b. 1942 in Mexico City) is one of Latin America’s most acclaimed photographers and the only Latin American woman to have received the Hasselblad Award.
In this monographic volume, published under the joint imprint of RM and the Fundación MAPFRE, Marta Dahó has assembled many of lturbide’s best-known works, along with some of her little-known photographs, in a feast of images.

It includes 180 representative photographs spanning her career, focusing on her best-known work, such as Frida Kahlo’s Bedroom, Those Who Live in the Sand and Juchitán. Over the course of her four-decade career, Iturbide has built up a poetic language of images and symbols; a consistent preoccupation is the juxtaposition between urban and rural life. The subjects of her black-and-white photography mostly reside in Latin America but encompass India, Europe and Asia as well. This volume provides an essential overview of her accomplishment.
