Evita. La razón de su imagen
Evita. La razón de su imagen
A collective exhibition of paintings and photographs from the museum’s collection, marking the 105th anniversary of the birth of María Eva Duarte de Perón.
The exhibition proposes a dialogue between works by artists who represented Eva Perón and photographic documents that captured the expressions, gestures and tasks of a figure who transcended geographic and temporal boundaries.
Presented by the National Institute of Historical Research Eva Perón and the Evita Museum Association.
The portrait of Eva Perón was made in 2009 and belongs to “Pop-Art Argentina”, an early series of 11 collages of influential Argentine figures — among them Borges, Fangio and Piazzolla. Having left Argentina at fourteen and lived around the world, Florencia returned in 2009 to reconnect with her roots, and the series came out of that immersion in Argentine culture and history.
It was research into collage and national heritage rather than part of her current practice: she has not used the technique since.
