This event has ended.

Louise Lawler’s exhibition, "Sucked In, Blown Out, Obviously Indebted or One Foot in Front of the Other" includes photographs of recent public presentations of artworks at auction houses and museums. The rear wall of the main gallery will hold a mural sized image Lawler photographed at the newly-opened and much-celebrated Broad Contemporary Art Museum in Los Angeles. In the photograph, a large Jeff Koons cracked egg sculpture reflects the vast gallery space in its mirrored red convex surface. The sculpture, set against an artwork by John Baldassari, reflects other works by Koons and several gallery visitors.

Several copies of the same photograph of an Agnes Martin painting hanging beneath a Calder mobile at Christies auction house will also be exhibited. The photograph is one of Lawler’s “overexposed” images where the raw light erases much of the detail. Lawler’s installation in the 2008 Whitney Biennial includes three examples of these “overexposed” works.
