Associated
with the Pictures Generation, Lawler was also one of the authors of
Institutional Critique, a Conceptualist genre that made museums and other
constituents of the art establishment the subject of a deconstructive inquiry.
In Lawler’s case, that entailed photos of other artist’s works hanging in
museums, storage rooms and the home of collectors. Elegant and cooly composed,
Lawler’s images demystified the art object by showing how it lives as a
commodity and piece of decor. MoMA surveys her career, which spans nearly 40
years.
