Francesca Woodman by Elizabeth Janus, Francesca Woodman, Philippe Sollers
4.0
Woodman's work features a combination of the physical form with contrasting environments like dilapidated buildings or personal living spaces. They're dark and segmented and her composition is great.
This book features her photographs and series divided into four different locations: Rhode Island (75-78), Italy (77-78), New Hampshire (80), and New York (80-81). Since this book was published in conjunction with a newly curated show in SF MOMA, there is a feature in the back of all of the pieces in the show. I was actually surprised that some of the pictures that were included in the show (and some of my favorites of hers) weren't actually put in the book except for those small thumbnails. For this reason, I think the selection of photographs could have been better and more selective to show her "best work" but overall this was a good collection.
