Louise Lawler (b. 1947)

“Louise Lawler’s photographs show locations where art is found. She shows what is perfectly visible but rarely seen: the way that works of art are presented in different situations are neither random nor arbitrary: it denotes the ‘value’ of works of art in that the institutions install them as signs of their own value.” (J. Mienhardt, “The Sites of Art Photographing the In-Between” in Louise Lawler: An Arrangement of Pictures, Assouline, New York, 2000.)
