Francesca Woodman is a beautifully produced monograph edited by Gabriele Schor that celebrates the extraordinary artistic legacy of one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. Published by Hatje Cantz in collaboration with the SAMMLUNG VERBUND Collection, Vienna, the book presents an extensive survey of Woodman's haunting black-and-white photography created between 1973 and 1981. Despite her tragically short life, Woodman transformed contemporary photography through deeply personal self-portraits and conceptual images that explore themes of identity, memory, femininity, the body, space, absence, transformation, and mortality.

The volume features over 120 photographs, including many of Woodman's best-known self-portraits, experimental studies, and rarely exhibited works, alongside essays by leading art historians and curators. Her photographs, often set in abandoned interiors and decaying architectural spaces, blur the boundaries between presence and disappearance through long exposures, movement, reflections, mirrors, and symbolic objects. The accompanying scholarly texts place her work within the contexts of conceptual art, feminist art, performance, Surrealism, and postmodern photography, while examining her lasting influence on generations of contemporary artists and photographers. Elegantly designed and richly illustrated, Francesca Woodman is regarded as one of the finest publications dedicated to the artist and an essential reference for collectors, photography enthusiasts, scholars, and students of contemporary art.
