The fascinating world of Books and Historical Memorabilia brought to you by {name}


Sarah Donley

The book is in excellent condition, has been stored dry in a non-smoker home. Have barely been opened, as pictures show. Color and b&w photography. 

This is the only English-language publication on the legendary American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-81). Dying tragically young at 22 years of age, her short career has attracted a devoted worldwide following. With over 250 reproductions, some of which have never been exhibited or published before, this will be the most comprehensively illustrated monograph on Woodman.

Original research by Dr. Chris Townsend relates Woodman's work to its American and European influences: from post-Minimal sculptors such as Richard Serra to American 'gothic' photographers such as Ralph Eugene Meatyard. This book includes extracts from her journals, edited by her father, George Woodman, that offer an intimate look into her private world. It also features facsimile pages from Woodman's notebooks, mostly never previously published, that illuminate her thought processes and gives a unique insight into her methods of working. This is a truly beautiful and rare look at one of America's most talented young photographers.


For an artist who left us with a finite oeuvre more than two decades ago, the number of articles and exhibitions produced after her death concerning her work is astounding; as is the frequency with which publications on Woodman go out of print. She had an ephemeral yet prolific career-working for a mere ten years, only three of which were after she graduated from RISD-a career that was never realized while she was alive. This new and definitive monograph is powerful and personal and the only book on her work currently in print. It includes more than 200 images, starting with a self-portrait at thirteen years old, taken in 1972, and culminating with work from New Hampshire and New York taken in 1980 just before her suicide in January, 1981. Woodman's work is distinctly that of a young artist, yet it contains a depth that allows for broad and nuanced critical analysis. An extensive and erudite text by Chris Townsend, titled "Scattered in Space and Time," examines Woodman's work through the lenses of American Gothic, Surrealism, feminism, post-Minimal photography and the self-portrait. Selections from the artist's journals, edited by her father, show her working through ideas and developing as an artist. One entry, from an undated journal, reads, "I am interested in the way people relate to space. The best way to do this is to depict their interactions to the boundaries of these spaces. Started doing this with ghost pictures, people fading into a flat plane-ie becoming the wall under wallpaper or of an extension of the wall onto floor...Glass makes a nice definition of space because it delineates a form while revealing what is inside it is also a cold and somewhat harsh material." Who is to say what her reaction would be to the scholarly buzz that her work has inspired? Over the past two decades the critical community has certainly viewed Woodman's work as laudable and the continuing resurrection of her work is something for which many will be thankful.
