Brucie Collections gallery is excited to present the works of Flor Garduño, one of the most outstanding representatives of Latin American modern art, internationally recognized as one of the heirs to the great tradition of Mexican photography.

Born in Mexico City in 1957, Garduño entered the Old San Carlos Academy at the age of 19, to study visual arts. Around that time she also took part in the photography workshop of the Hungarian Surrealist photographer Kati Horna, whose work had a profound influence on the young artist. In 1979, she started working as a darkroom assistant for Manuel Alvarez Bravo, the most influential Mexican photographer of the 20th century. In the early 80s, Garduño worked under the directions of another of Mexican photography greats, Mariana Yampolsky, traveling to rural villages throughout Mexico and honing her own unique style infusing descriptive photography with mystical archetypes and symbolism of Latin America. It’s during these travels that the photographer found her source of inspiration, captivated by the landscapes and the depth of the indigenous culture.

Garduño’s first personal exhibition took place in 1982 in her hometown of Mexico City followed by numerous solo and joint shows in the most prestigious galleries and museums all over the world. During the author’s 30-year long fruitful career, her black and white photography that mainly depicted the lives and rituals of native people throughout the Americas gravitated towards somewhat more personal, inner motifs, as in more recent years Garduño began to concentrate on symbolic female nudes, portraits and “silent-lives” – Flor`s unique vision of still-lives.

She has published several books of her photography including, Magia del Juego Eterno (The Magic of the Eternal Game) (1985), Bestiarium (1987), Witnesses of Time (1992), Mesteños (1994), Flor Garduño: Inner Light (2003), Trilogy (2011) and Flor Garduño, Photo Poche Collection (2016).

Flor Garduño’s artwork is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, The Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, Bibliothèque National de France in Paris; Museum Ludwig in Köln and other notable public and private collections.

Besides Mexico Flor also has a Swiss citizenship and for a long time spent her life in travels between these two countries.

The selected photographs of Flor Garduño will be available for view and purchase in Brucie Collections gallery starting September 15, 2016.
