I’m trying my hand at fashion photography

Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of the vintage work of Francesca Woodman. I’m trying my hand at fashion photography will be the fourth solo exhibition in the New York space dedicated to Woodman’s vintage photographs.

This group of pictures is dedicated to Woodman’s fashion photographs which she pursued and developed in the later years of her life, between 1978 and 1980 primarily while living and working in New York City. Most are shown here for the first time. The works form a finite chapter within Woodman’s oeuvre when she was continuing to explore the female subject both through self- representation and the positioning of models within the image, but with an eye toward the commercial realm.
