Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York

Join Gagosian for a conversation inside the exhibition Francesca Woodman at Gagosian, New York, between Brooke Holmes, professor of Classics at Princeton University, and Lissa McClure and Katarina Jerinic, executive director and collections curator, respectively, at the Woodman Family Foundation. The trio will discuss Woodman’s preoccupation with classical themes and archetypes, her exploration of the body as sculpture, and her development of photography’s capacity to invest representation with allegory and metaphor. The exhibition features more than fifty lifetime prints—many of which have not been previously exhibited—including Blueprint for a Temple (II) (1980), the largest work she accomplished.

Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York

Join Gagosian for a tour of the exhibition Francesca Woodman at Gagosian, New York, led by Lissa McClure and Katarina Jerinic, executive director and collections curator, respectively, at the Woodman Family Foundation. The pair will guide visitors through the presentation of over fifty prints from approximately 1975 through 1980, in which Woodman situated herself and others within dilapidated interiors and ancient architecture to compose her tableaux. Using objects such as chairs and plinths along with architectural elements including doorways, walls, and windows, she staged contrasts with the performative presence of the figures, presenting the body itself as sculpture.

Join Hatchards to celebrate Francesca Woodman: The Artist’s Books, published in association with the Woodman Family Foundation. All eight of Woodman’s unique artist’s books are reproduced for the first time in one comprehensive volume, including two that have never before been seen. Writer and editor Claire Marie Healy; Katarina Jerinic, collections curator at the Woodman Family Foundation; and Magdalene Keaney, curator of Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In at the National Portrait Gallery, London, will consider how Woodman’s transformation of found volumes demonstrates a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offers a new understanding of the scope of her engagement with the book form. The trio will also discuss the images used to create the artist’s books that are on view at Gagosian, Burlington Arcade, London, from March 18 to April 6, 2024. Published by MACK, the book will be available for purchase at the event.
