The ALBERTINA Museum presents the first museum exhibition of the American-Italian artist Francesca Woodman in Austria with works from the VERBUND COLLECTION. Since its foundation in 2004, the VERBUND COLLECTION has continuously acquired photographs by Woodman. With around 80 works, 20 of which are vintage, it has one of the most comprehensive collections of this extraordinary artist. The show displays a total of around 100 photographs.
Francesca Woodman (1958-1981) created her oeuvre in an 9-year creative phase from 1973 to 1981. Her work is characterized by a passionate self-presentation and the creative positioning of the female body in space, in the context of conceptual photography and performance. Most of the photographs have a small, square format, are black and white and were taken with a medium format camera. Like many artists of the feminist avant-garde, the artist often uses her body naked and in a surprisingly unconventional way, like a tool. In her unusual studio spaces, in the abandoned factory halls, she explores her curiosity about the female self.
