LAWLER, QUAYTMAN, AND ROWLAND AT BUCHHOLZ

When Metro Pictures asked me to do a show in 1982, they already had an image. They represented a group of artists whose work often dealt with issues of appropriation and was often spoken of and written about together. A gallery generates meaning through the type of work they choose to show. I self-consciously made work that “looked like” Metro Pictures. The first thing you saw when you entered my show, Arrangements of Pictures, was an arrangement of works the gallery had on hand by “gallery artists” Robert Longo, Cindy Sherman, Jack Goldstein, Laurie Simmons, and James Welling. A wall label titled it “Arranged by Louise Lawler.” It was for sale as a work with a price determined by adding up the prices of the individual pieces, plus a percentage for me. I went to the collectors to whom Metro had sold work and photographed the Metro artists’ works in those contexts. I printed the resulting images a “normal” picture size and titled them “arrangements,” too—for example, “Arranged by Barbara and Eugene Schwartz, New York City.” The Metro situation at that time formed that work, and it also formed a way of working for me. — Louise Lawler*

Invited to exhibit together for the first time, Louise Lawler, R. H. Quaytman, and Cameron Rowland present new work along with selected older pieces for a group show in Cologne, now in its final week.

ROBERT LONGO IN BROOKLYN

The Brooklyn Museum exhibition PROOF—FRANCISCO GOYA, SERGEI EISENSTEIN, ROBERT LONGO brings together drawings, etchings, and film—mostly black and white—by three artists who “witnessed a turbulent transition from one era to another and the profound repercussions of revolution, war, and civil unrest. Within a broad chronological framework, PROOF traces the historical lineage of a visual language and artistic impulse.”*

PROOF was initiated by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow, and curated by their chief curator Kate Fowle, in collaboration with Robert Longo. The Brooklyn Museum presentation is organized by Sara Softness, their assistant curator of special projects.

 

PROOF—FRANCISCO GOYA, SERGEI EISENSTEIN, ROBERT LONGO, through January 7.

BROOKLYN MUSEUM, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn.
