Press Release

Sprüth Magers is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by Louise Lawler at the gallery’s space in New York. This latest series of dye sublimation prints focuses on images of Jasper Johns’ iconic painting Three Flags (1958), taken earlier this year at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lawler is a steadfast investigator of the making of pictures. Using long exposures, swift camera movements and cropping, Lawler creates abstract images of this well-known motif. Here, these analog techniques both manipulate the image and comment on both perception and the fast-paced flood of images that marks everyday life in the digital era.

Coinciding with this exhibition, Sprüth Magers is pleased to announce a solo presentation by Louise Lawler at ADAA in New York in November 2022.

About the Artist

Louise Lawler (*1947) is a key figure of the Pictures Generation of appropriation art. At the heart of her body of work are photographs of other artists’ works as displayed in museums, storage spaces, auction houses, and collectors’ homes. She uses photography as a conceptual tool and way of directing attention to things that are tacit and unspoken—the constraints, rules, and economies of the loose system that governs the art world. The Brooklyn-based artist has been associated with the gallery since 1987.
