In cooperation with the VERBUND COLLECTION, the ALBERTINA presents the first exhibition of works by the American-Italian artist Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) at an Austrian museum.
The artist created her oeuvre during an eight-year period that began in 1973 and ended with her suicide in 1981. Her works are characterized by passionate self-staging and the female body’s creative positioning within spatial configurations in the context of conceptual photography and performance. The themes of her works revolve around femininity, vulnerability, and creative portrayal of the self. The VERBUND COLLECTION has been acquiring photographs by Woodman ever since its establishment in 2004. Now totaling around 80 works, 20 of them vintage, the holdings represent one of the most comprehensive collections of works by this exceptional artist. Their presentation is completed by works from international lenders.
The exhibition is on view from 4 April until 6 July 2025.
