Born in Buenos Aires in 1961, Guillermo Kuitca is one of the most influential Latin American contemporary artists. Dedicated to both theater and painting, his pictorial work finds inspiration in architecture and cartography: maps and plans are recurring elements in his visual universe, at once familiar and strange. Under the title ‘Philosophy for Princesses,’ the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo has displayed almost fifty works that illustrate the career of the artist over the last 35 years. Le sacre, of 1992, is one of the most noteworthy pieces, an installation made up of 54 bed mattresses with maps from different parts of the world drawn on them.
