Louise Lawler Warhol photograph Untitled (Terrier) 58/100

Fine Art : Photography

 

Here is a terrific art photograph by internationally known artist Louise Lawler (b.1947). Born and educated in the United States, she shot to international fame in the 1980's with her sophisticated images which examine art and its myriad settings. Depicted here are a number of Warhol silk screens displayed at Sotheby's preview. The lens focus is exceptionally crisp (you can read the lot info with a loupe) and the lighting is very evocative. This cibachrome measures 9 7/8 x 7 3/8 inches. Framed: 18 x 14 inches. "Untitled (Terrier)" 1990-91. Edition 100. Professionally framed and mounted in white wood with finished corners. Lawler, like Cindy Sherman, was one of the major players instrumental in changing the conventional view that photography was not fine art. The body of her work addresses this issue directly.
