Graciela Iturbide has found her inner theme photographing the Zapotec women of Juchitan
and the Mixtec goat butchers of Oaxaca, in the company of Nobel laureates and world-renowned
artists, among mourners at Mexican cemeteries and Indian death houses. In Eyes to
Fly With, which includes both iconic images and previously unpublished work, Graciela
Iturbide has assembled both a retrospective of her career and an introspective self-portrait—in
short, an artist's art book. Graciela Iturbide's photographs are included in the
collections of major museums throughout the world, and have been previously published
in numerous books. She lives in Mexico City. The Wittliff Collections hold the major
collection of Iturbide’s work.
