Francesca Woodman was an American photographer known for her striking and introspective black-and-white self-portraits. Her body of work delved into themes of identity, vulnerability, and the human form, utilizing experimental techniques and compositions to produce haunting and surreal imagery. Unfortunately, Woodman's life was tragically cut short when she took her own life at the age of 22. Nevertheless, her photography endures as a celebrated expression of a unique artistic vision and maintains its influence on contemporary photography and feminist art. Woodman's work has achieved international recognition and is showcased in prominent museums and galleries worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, Tate Modern, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. – Upper left corner slightly bumped, otherwise in excellent condition.
