Gagosian’s inaugural exhibition of works by Francesca Woodman presents key prints made by the artist from approximately 1975 through 1980. The photographs on view represent a culmination of Woodman’s exploration of the figure in space and prompt a reconsideration of how she drew on classical sculpture and architecture throughout her career. Works made in New York—including the monumental Blueprint for a Temple (II) (1980), shown for the first time in 44 years—appear alongside earlier photographs and suggest new readings of the artist’s intentions. For example, a figure emerging from behind torn wallpaper in From Space² or Space² (1976) foreshadows Woodman’s caryatids and other depictions of the body as sculpture and in relation to architecture.
