Louise Lawler: an Arrangement of Pictures by Johannes Meinhardt (Book)

About the Item

For the past twenty years, Louise Lawler has photographed "art" as presented in private homes, in museums, galleries, auction houses, public buildings and museum and gallery storage areas. From an exhibition of Degas's masterpieces to an Andy Warhol installation, from Jeff Koons' sculptures to a Puvis de Chavannes painting in a house in Connecticut, this book invites you to discover Lawler's unique vision of modern and contemporary art. Lawler is fascinated by what "happens" to the art object after it leaves the artist's studio where it goes, how it's displayed, how it's valued, what it means. In a Lawler photograph taken in a private home, the furnishings and objects surrounding the art are given as much attention as the art; in a auction house, the label identifying the artwork. Lawler shows us how the environment that surrounds it affects our perspective of art and how it in turn affects all aspects of that environment. 144 pages. 1580 grams.
