The image displays two exhibition labels mounted vertically on a bright white wall, likely within a museum or art gallery in Rosario, Argentina. The labels provide information about photographic works and their respective artists. The upper label details a work by **Grete Stern** (Elberfeld, Germany, 1904 - Buenos Aires, 1999), titled "Sueño No 28. Amor sin ilusión" (Dream No. 28. Love without Illusion). This photograph, a gelatin silver print on paper, framed, dates to 1951 and measures 47 x 42 x 4 cm. Its acquisition was sponsored by the Fundación Castagnino and Banco Ciudad in 2019, as part of the Matching Funds ArteBA program. Above this label, a QR code and a speaker icon with "Audiodes" indicate the availability of an audio description. The lower, larger label is dedicated to **Annemarie Heinrich** (Darmstadt, Germany, 1912 - Buenos Aires, 2005). Two works are listed: "La luna (Anja Willey)" (The Moon (Anja Willey)), a 1935 gelatin silver print (60.5 x 65.5 x 2 cm, edition 1/10), and "El reloj (Inés York)" (The Clock (Inés York)), a 1946 gelatin silver print (80.5 x 65.5 x 2 cm, edition 1/10). Both framed works were acquired by the Fundación Castagnino in 2008 through the Matching Funds arteBA-Zurich program. The text further elaborates on Heinrich's career, noting her arrival in Argentina as a teenager fleeing World War I. She developed her photographic skills with Sivad Wilenski and Melitta Lang, opening her own studio in Villa Ballester, Buenos Aires, in 1936. Her vast output from the 1940s onwards focused on personalities from radio, cinema, theater, dance, and politics, including figures like Tita Merello, Mirtha Legrand, Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda, and Eva Duarte. She was known for her ability to capture gestures, poses, and for her meticulous approach to negatives and montage, also creating landscapes and nudes. The overall setting suggests a well-lit exhibition space.
