Text Entries
Noggle is known for her self-portraits which were sometimes fanciful and at other times brutally frank. “People tell me that the photographs of me are not in any way flattering,” the artist told curator Anne Tucker in 1993. “They are not meant to be. They are supposed to be real.” In this picture, Noggle appears to be appraising either herself or the viewer with an objective gaze.
Date of print is estimate made by the curator (Katherine Ware).
