December 9, 2010 – January 15, 2011
Yvon Lambert Paris is pleased to announce Louise Lawlerʼs third solo exhibition at the gallery from December 9, 2010 until January 15, 2011.
Louise Lawler (born 1947, Bronxville, NY) primarily works in the medium of photography, capturing art works in museums, auction houses and galleries, as well as in more private settings such as storage spaces and private homes. Lawler reflects the social, aesthetic, and economic aspects of the work she photographs, elucidating its placement, value and relationship to its surroundings.
For Later, Lawler exhibits images she took in Yves Saint Laurentʼs apartment as Christieʼs prepared for the 2008 sale of the late designerʼs art collection, dubbed by many as the “sale of the century”. In these photographs, Lawler captures the exotic hothouse environment of the reclusive designer, focusing on the elaborate and rare objects, furniture, floral arrangements and art with which he surrounded himself.
In addition to discreet photographs, the exhibition features two extremely large wall murals. One is a dense detailed photograph blown up to fill a large gallery wall; the other is an impressionistic photograph (taken with a cell phone) stretched to wrap around the gallery walls.
