Catalogue Note
"Among the early pieces in the MoMA show are two photographs, from 1982, of works by fellow-artists, including Sherrie Levine, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jenny Holzer, which Lawler had arranged in two different groups, on black backdrop paper, in one case, and tulip-red paper, in the other. Dominating each arrangement is a “Cow” poster, by Warhol, which he sent to Lawler in 1977, in return for the favor of giving him a roll of film at a party when he had run out." Peter Schjeldahl in "Louise Lawler's Beguiling Institutional Critique," The New Yorker, 8 May 2017
