Ciudad de México (Mexico City)

Yolanda Andrade · 2015 · inkjet print ·  Accession ID  2025.111.1

The image shows a portrait photograph in a rectangular frame hanging on a weathered green wall. The photograph features a woman from the shoulders up, with an angled pose toward her left. She has medium-length dark hair styled with some volume, and she wears an off-the-shoulder top. Her facial features are soft, with a gentle expression and subtle makeup. The frame is simple with a golden-orange hue. Around the photograph, the wall shows signs of age, with patches of paint peeling away to reveal a brown underlayer. The wall is also adorned with cast shadows from an unseen object on the left, displaying intricate, decorative patterns that suggest it might be a window or grille. There are no other objects or noticeable jewelry in the image.

Yolanda Andrade · 2005 · inkjet print ·  Accession ID  2024.123.1

The image shows a person standing upright with their arms raised, holding up the fabric of a large, wing-like costume. Their head is slightly tilted to the left. The person has distinct facial features with well-defined eyebrows and is wearing a headpiece with ornate detailing, complemented by large hoop earrings. Their hair is styled back. They are dressed in a form-fitting lace bodysuit with spaghetti straps. Bracelets adorn their wrists. The background is an outdoor setting with other people partly obscured by the fabric, and buildings visible in the distance.

La Mujer Murciélago (Bat Woman)

Yolanda Andrade · 1993 · gelatin silver print ·  Accession ID  2020.146.3

The image shows a man from the waist up, with his head thrown back in a dynamic pose. He seems to be in motion, possibly performing, given the dramatic head tilt and flowing fabric around his head. The man is wearing a light-colored short-sleeve shirt with a henley neckline. His face is partially covered by a mask over his eyes and nose. His dark, slightly long hair is visible under the mask and fabric. In the background, there are blurred onlookers, some clapping, dressed casually, indicating an outdoor event.
