ADRIANA LESTIDO 1955 - Lot 81
ADRIANA LESTIDO 1955 Women in Jail, 1992. Photography. Period silver print on baryta paper, captioned and signed in pencil on the back by the author. Image: 21 x 14 cm; sheet: 25 x 20 cm. Adriana Lestido (Argentina, born in 1955) sees photography as an accompaniment to her life, to her critics of society, to her condition as a woman in a macho country. Convinced of the need for a documentary photography that is anchored in the present, she strives to develop issues that could not be understood without their social dimension. Her work has been the subject of monographs and exhibitions and is part of major collections, such as that of the Fondation Cartier, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires. The print we present here is one of the oldest of the author's works, one of the emblematic images of her series "Women in Jail", an important work within women's prisons around the world.
