A new publication compiles the late American photographer’s psychologically and poetically charged photo collages, made during the 1970s
Beyond photography, Turbeville also championed the medium of collage. Like her Postmodern contemporary Andy Warhol, it allowed her to self-reflexively explore replication and reproduction in an era of mass media and distribution. But her work was less premeditated than Warhol’s; she worked intuitively and spontaneously, nor did she seek to self-brand or promote. According to those who knew her, she remained a slightly mysterious figure in the art world.
“The artist was a solitary figure who carried a world inside herself” writes Franca Sozzani, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, who worked with Turbeville in the late 70s. “The storyteller of a unique realm that belonged to her and which she allowed us to glimpse through her work.” An artistic anomaly of her time, Turbeville’s commercial beginnings propelled her to forge her own artistic path; one rooted in avant-garde experimentation.
