Tina Modotti at Throckmorton

This show of more than forty photographs, taken in Mexico between 1923 and 1930, is a welcome reminder that Modotti's cult status is based on a substantial body of work, not just on her history of lovers, controversies, and Communist sympathies.

Although a number of her most famous images (a bouquet of overblown roses, a single calla lily, a puppeteer's hands) are here in posthumous platinum prints, many of the less familiar pictures are vintage and quite rare.
