Untitled is a 1970 photographic by Martine Franck, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a dress hanging on a mannequin. The dress has long, thin straps and a fitted waist, flaring out into a full skirt. The fabric looks stiff, with sharp folds and a grid-like pattern of pleats. The photo focuses only on the dress, with no background or extra details. The lighting is even, making the folds stand out clearly. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more works like this.
The black and white photograph by Franck, Martine from 1970 depicts a textile sculpture titled *Huaquen* by Sheila Hicks, mounted on board. Hicks’s work draws from ancient Peruvian textile traditions, transforming threads into bas-relief and sculptural forms that evoke architectural depth and tactile richness. The photograph captures the interplay of shadows and textures in Hicks’s innovative approach, which blends historical techniques with modern materials and global influences.

Martine Franck made black-and-white photographs around 1970 that look like quiet snapshots—ordinary moments caught in a single glance.
