Catalogue Note
“In Lawler’s photographs of private collections, art is represented as simply one object among many in a chaos of accumulation; in the domestic interior, art – whether “tastefully” arranged or indifferently juxtaposed – is assimilated into a backdrop of decorative commodities. Arranged by Mr and Mrs Burton Tremaine, New York, 1984, is more than a picture hanging over the couch: Lawler includes the television set in front of a Robert Delaunay, next to a Lichtenstein sculpture head used as a lamp base on the coffee table.”
