IN THE EYES OF YVON LAMBERT
“I immediately liked Louise Lawler’s work because it attests to her love of wandering through endless corridors, monumental staircases, and museum halls. I go to the Louvre every month, just like Louise Lawler, who must have her secret appointments with certain works that are in intimate dialogue with her imagination as an artist. Her shots, her always unusual framing, the lighting so particular that she gives to the works testify to a real attention paid to everything that makes us feel a real happiness in these public places, filled with the treasures of our heritage.”
QUOTE FROM THE ARTIST
“I show what they show: Painting, sculpture, pictures, glass and words on painted walls. My job is to exchange the positions of exhibition and voyeurism.”
