The first in Nathalie Léger’s acclaimed genre-defying triptych of books about the struggles and obsessions of women artists.
Exposition
is the first in a triptych of books by the award-winning writer and archivist Nathalie Léger that includes
Suite for Barbara Loden
and
The White Dress
. In each, Léger sets the story of a female artist against the background of her own life and research—an archivist's journey into the self, into the lives that history hides from us. Here, Léger's subject is the Countess of Castiglione (1837–1899), who at the dawn of photography dedicated herself to becoming the most photographed woman in the world, modeling for hundreds of photos, including “Scherzo di Follia,” among the most famous in history. Set long before our own “selfie” age,
is a remarkably modern investigation into the curses of beauty, fame, vanity, and age, as well as the obsessive drive to control and commodify one's image.
