Catalogue note

Cohen’s first monograph and the culmination of the six-year Women project: 100 staged portraits exploring character, femininity, performance and the constructed image. Includes texts by Cohen, Alessia Glaviano and Ellen von Unwerth.

Edition / bibliographic note: Original order evidence explicitly identifies this copy as the Fifth Edition. The same outward cloth design was retained across multiple editions; acquisition proof and price are preserved only in PRIVATE / INTERNAL data.

Condition note: Gold cloth exceptionally clean with minute handling only; photographed interiors crisp and clean.

Research status: Core bibliographic claims independently revalidated 15 Aug 2026 against IDEA's edition history. Fifth Edition, September 2023 and 216 pages are corroborated; the small catalogue-versus-physical dimension difference is retained without forced reconciliation.

Legacy record ID: 004

Why this object matters

The fifth edition still contains the sustained staged-portrait project that defines Cohen's first monograph. Its artistic coherence and relationships with the archive's later Cohen material justify outstanding importance; the later impression is not treated as an original launch object.

Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.

Score and assessment method

Archive Importance: 8.9 / 10.

This is a curatorial judgement, not a measurement accurate to one tenth or a market valuation. Read the explanation and its evidence limits together.
