About
Francesca Woodman: The Artists Bookscollects for the first time every page of all eight of Francesca Woodmans unique artists books in one comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books which have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such asSome Disordered Interior Geometries. The basis of these works is in tattered nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century journals and notebooks that Woodman collected from bookshops and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She later transformed these found volumes, attaching her prints, transparencies, and written annotations to their evocative pages. These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodmans engagement with the book form.
