George Woodman, "Loie Wearing an 18th Century Sculpture," 2012: STAFF PICKS
Hello! I’m Layaan Roufai, the Woodman Family Foundation’s Library and Archives Intern. As I perused the many publications filled with works by the Woodmans, I found myself particularly interested in the art of George Woodman.
Architectural elements: Francesca Woodman. "Francesca Woodman," Gagosian, New York.
In the current exhibition at Gagosian, works presented thematically and serially, including “Blueprint for a Temple (II),” draw attention to Francesca Woodman’s years-long exploration of the figure in space.
Transforming the body into form. "Francesca Woodman," Gagosian, New York.
“Sitting in bed – the slide projector is humming in the other room – a slide of helen as caryatid – im feeling very very lazy and contented – the cat lounges on a newly washed pile of pink clothes and the room is strewn with fresh tulips – even my fish has fresh flowers from Chinatown.”
