Louise Lawler|Johannes Meinhardt

1994 · Printed postcards with envelope · Photographs

For many of her exhibitions, Lawler creates little works of art in the form of postcards and mailers that extend her ideas further into the art world’s circulation system. The postcards seen heer promote her series of views inside the bedrooms and boardrooms of art collectors. Playing on the commodity culture of the museum gift shop, Lawler enshrined these images in souvenir paperweights, which she then photographed and reproduced in print. Seen beneath the globe of one such paperweight, works by Robert Longo and Sol LeWitt keep company in a well-appointed sitting room.
