Catalogue Note
"Lawler looks intensely, always finding small things that stand in for bigger issues. She frequently shows us works of art in various stages of installation and de-installation as she moves behind the scenes of museums, auction houses, and collectors’ houses. The work rarely ventures outside the space for art, but from this restricted lexicon, Lawler aims to create a wide metaphor for the world at large." James Welling (quoted in "Louise Lawler," BOMB Magazine, Spring 2006)
