Francesca Woodman made her first mature photographs at the age of thirteen and went on to create a body of work that has been critically acclaimed for its singularity of style and innovative approach to photography. Despite her lifetime accomplishments - which included solo and group exhibitions and the publication of one of her books - and her work being celebrated widely in the years since her untimely death in 1981, very little has been published about her remarkable series of artist's books until now.
Francesca Woodman: The Artist’s Books brings together for the first time every page of Francesca Woodman’s eight unique artist’s books in a single comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books that have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such as *Certain Disordered Interior Geometries*. The foundation of these works lies in tattered magazines and notebooks from the 19th and early 20th centuries that Woodman collected in bookstores and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She then transformed these found volumes by attaching her prints, transparencies, and handwritten annotations to their pages . These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship with narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodman’s engagement with the book form.
