Catalogue Note
"The fates of the artworks that appear in Lawler’s photographs recall those of the figures in Ovid’s Metamorphoses: they are constantly being transformed, so that nothing remains of their prior existence, but they retain their names and their positions in the narrative, in the arrangement.”
Diedrich Diederichsen, "More Jokes about Autonomy and the Private Sphere" in: Exh. Cat., New York, The Museum of Modern Art, Louise Lawler: WHY PICTURES NOW, 2017, pp. 78-79
