Title	Untitled (Virgin)
Creator	Rafael López Castro
Subject	Mexico; Guadalupe, Our Lady of;
Country	Mexico
Description	This serigraph print, Edition 73/100, featuring a portrait of a mestiza (mixed-race) virgin with one eye open and one closed, uses as its source a melancholic and introspective black and white photograph that López Castro shot of a teenage girl from Uruapán, Michoacán. This photograph is published on page 207 in his book Domingo de ramos en Uruapán, Michoacán (Mexico City: Artes de México, 2006). The Untitled (Virgin) serigraph print is related to a project that the artist is currently working on where he has taken some 3,000 photographs of Mexico’s mercados (local markets). He points out that every mercado has its altar to the Virgin of Guadalupe.
