From February 23rd to March 24th Galerie Hubert Winter in Vienna is hosting the second solo show of Francesca Woodman displaying a selection of works ranging from 1972 until 1980.
Woodman was an American photographic artist who left behind a complex and every extensive body of work of more than 800 prints and several thousand negatives. She took her life in 1981 at the age of 22, after her only photo book Francesca Woodman. Some disordered Interior Geometries had been published.
The photographs shown engage with topics or elements which relate back to Surrealism, Pictorialism, Victorian Gothic and Renaissance painting and rhyme with her own body in a continuous cross reference.
At the core of Woodman’s practice was the query within the means and objectuality of art. This ongoing investigation is pointed out, for instance, by her group of works on fashion photography and by the late large format blueprints which included other subjects than humans.
