November 29, 2007 | | Louise Lawler |
In a new exhibition opening yesterday at Spruth and Magers in London is "Where is the Nearest Camera?" by New York-based artist Louise Lawler. The artist has become known for her body of work, which has been developing since the 1980's, that examines the life of a work of art post studio creation. Lawler raises interesting questions of authorship and identity as she photographs works in galleries, museums, auction houses and private homes. The artist is interested in the discourse that a work can instigate when viewed in multiple contexts, and when the work itself is not the focal point of the imagery. Her current exhibition takes place in some of the London-based auction houses and the title "Where is the Nearest Camera?" asks the viewer directly to consider their own point of view within a display environment. Lawler currently lives and works in NYC and has completed solo exhibitions with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C., Portikus, Frankfurt and at the Kunstmuseum Basel (2004). A major retrospective of her work was held last year in Ohio at the Wexner Center for the Arts.
