MARIA ACHA-KUTSCHER ( Lima, Peru, 1968). Untitled. 2019. Series "Womankind". Pigmented inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper, 315 gr. With label from Taller Digigráfico de Madrid. Sizes: 41,5 x 30 cm; 62 x 50 cm (frame). As the artist herself explained in an interview in "Elemmental" about this series: "Womankind is an intertextual work, full of quotations from works of art, photography, film, literature and the memory of political struggle. In all the photographic collages of this project, women occupy a central place, not as objects of contemplation, but as protagonists of their own history. It is therefore crucial that the images are plausible, in order to construct a large archive of fictional documents". By combining archival images and collage, Acha-Kutscher claims an autonomous place for women, a place that was stolen from them. María Acha-Kutscher is a Peruvian feminist visual artist based in Spain. She is co-director with Tomás Ruiz-Rivas of the experimental project Antimuseo. She studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. After finishing her studies in 1991 she moved to Mexico City, where she worked as an art director in advertising agencies. This experience as a designer has been crucial for the realisation of her artistic-militant work. In 2001 she moved to Madrid and became involved in the alternative contemporary art scene through her partner Tomás Ruiz-Rivas. Her work vindicates and makes feminism visible. Since 2010, Acha-Kutscher has focused on three long-term projects: Womankind, Indignadas and Herstorymuseum. Womankind consists of several series of digital photographic collages, created from archival images, from the internet, magazines, books and photographs taken by the artist. Among her most recognised series is Indignadas, which belongs to the project for the recovery of women's historical memory, Mujeres Trabajando para Mujeres" (Women Working for Women). Her latest project is Herstorymuseum, an imaginary museum that, through its collection and a curatorial programme, develops a rhizomatic and non-hierarchical narrative of women creators of the 20th century. Its collections are made up of images based on a visual language close to the pictogram, in which only two spots of colour are used. The exhibitions are held in public spaces, art centres, galleries and also on its website. The exhibitions establish relationships between different women artists and works, thus developing a different narrative from the official art history.16 Herstorymuseum is a member of the International Association of Women's Museums (IAWM). Acha-Kutscher has shown her work at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (CA2M), Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo (CGAC), La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, The Fed Galleries @ KCAD (USA), M.A.C.L.A.

EDWARD STEICHEN (Luxembourg, 1879 - West Redding, Connecticut, 1973). "The sea", 1904. Platinum photograph mounted on original black paper on cream paper (original). Presents label on the back of German collection (Hamburg 1971). Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 13 x 17,5 cm; 29 x 37 cm (frame). Edward Steichen was a key figure in 20th century photography, directing its development as a leading photographer and influential curator. Steichen arrived in the United States in 1881. He painted and worked in lithography, before turning to photography in 1896, and first exhibited photographs at the Philadelphia Salon in 1899. Steichen became a naturalized citizen in 1900 and, after exhibiting at the Chicago Salon, received the support of Clarence White, who introduced him to Alfred Stieglitz. Steichen practiced painting in Paris intermittently between 1900 and 1922; there he met Rodin and was in contact with modern art movements, so he was able to advise Stieglitz on the selection of exhibitions. In 1901 he was elected a member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood in London, and in 1902 he co-founded the Photo-Secession and designed the first cover of Camera Work, in which his work was often published. In New York, Steichen helped Stieglitz establish the Small Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which became known as "291," and in 1910 he participated in the International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography in Buffalo. During World War I, he directed aerial photography for the Army Expeditionary Forces. Shortly thereafter he gave up painting, along with the vestiges of Pictorialism, and adopted a modernist style. He was chief photographer for Condé Nast from 1923 to 1938, while doing freelance advertising work. Commissioned as a lieutenant commander in 1942, Steichen was appointed director of the U.S. Naval Photographic Institute in 1945; there he supervised combat photography and organized the Road to Victory and Power in the Pacific exhibitions. He was director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art from 1947 to 1962, and was responsible for more than fifty exhibitions, including The Family of Man in 1955, the most popular exhibition in the history of photography. Steichen received countless awards and honors, including the title of Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, an honorary fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Art Directors Club of New York Award, the U.S. Camera Achievement Award for "Most Outstanding Individual Contribution to Photography" (1949), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1963). Major exhibitions of his work have been held at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, the ICP and the George Eastman House.
