Francesca Woodman  is an original artwork realized by the Italian artist and photographer  Angelo Cricchi  in 2008.

Digital print from negative film 6x6.

Hand-signed , dated, and numbered by the artist on the back of the photo. The original stamp of the photographer is present on the back too.

The photo is an edition of 5 unique specimens and is part of the collection Gloomy Sunday  realized by the artist in the 2000s.

The photograph shows the back of a nude woman lying on the floor near a pot containing eels. The photograph pays homage to a young and influential American photographer of the last decades of the XX century: Francesca Woodman (Denver, 1958 - New York, 1981). Woodman was born in the USA from a family of artists, but she often traveled to Italy, where she attended the primary school. She is famous for her experimental photography showing women, with a focus on their bodies. She also represented her own body in her work. She committed suicide at the age of 22, jumping from a skyscraper of New York.
