Specialist note

"My reservations are about wanting to foreground the work and not the artist. The work works in the process of its reception. I don’t want the work to be accompanied by anything that doesn’t accompany it in the real world." (L. Lawler, quoted in ‘Prominence Given, Authority Taken’ an interview with Louise Lawler by Douglas Crimp in Louise Lawler: An Arrangement of Pictures, Assouline, New York, 2000).
