拍品专文

'Lawler's photographs subtly operate on the borderline between high art and kitsch: when clichés suddenly become authentic and vice versa; or when aggressiveness and moments of shock turn into humor and parody'.
(A. Hochdörfer, quoted in H. Molesworth, 'Louise Lawler: Just the Facts', Twice Untitled and Other Pictures (looking back), exh. cat., Wexner Centre for the Arts, Ohio 2006, p. 143).
