Catalogue Note

Pleasure/More captures Andy Warhol's Silver Clouds re-created installation at the New York gallery D'Amelio Terras in 1997. Unlike most of her photographs of art on display, here, Lawler has chosen to reinterpret the work in a new spatial dimension rather than contextualizing the original artwork in its gallery setting. This unique examination of Warhol's mass-produced installation highlights the multi-dimensional qualities of the work, a testament to Lawler, who is a sculptor in her own right.
