Tour
Francesca Woodman
With Lissa McClure and Katarina Jerinic
Friday, April 26, 2024, 10am
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.
