Barbara Kasten: The Diazotypes

Featured images are reproduced from Barbara Kasten: The Diazotypes, launching tonight at the Graham Foundation in Chicago. Published to accompany Stages, Kasten's critically acclaimed and long-overdue traveling retrospective, this illuminating artist's book presents, for the first time in history, the complete set of 24 prints originally produced for her 1973 installation at the California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC) in Oakland, California. "My photographs presented a realistic female body. I didn’t want to make clinical studies of the nude, but when I put an unclothed woman in a bottomless chair, some obvious relationships emerged."
