Louise Lawler

(61 years old, born 1947)

Sample work by Louise Lawler

Portrait (1982)
Cibachrome, 19 x 19 inches

In 1982 Lawler wanted to produce a record of Birdcalls and planned to decorate the jacket with a photograph of a parrot – that excellent mimic – looking suspiciously over its shoulder and set against a brilliant red background. The record was never made, but, subsequently, Lawler used the parrot photograph in other contexts, titling it Portrait (1982). Given its initial connection to Birdcalls, it might be regarded as a self-portrait in camouflage

From Matthew Buckingham, Alejandro Cesarco, Louise Lawler, Allen Ruppersburg at Murray Guy.
