NOW ON VIEW: Francesca Woodman at Gagosian

“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.” It’s easy to imagine Francesca Woodman writing the above words in her journal around the same time that she made this suite of photographs in her New York City apartment.
