"Laurie Lambrecht in Roy Lichtenstein's Studio: The First and The Unseen" Exhibition
Rick Wester Fine Art
This event has ended.
Included are many of the first prints made of images featured in her soon to be released monograph, Roy Lichtenstein In His Studio (Monacelli, 2011). These are the prints she showed Lichtenstein during her tenure with him. Also shown are images not included in the book, which have never before been shown in public.
From 1990-1992, Lambrecht, a photographer from Eastern Long Island worked as an assistant for Lichtenstein in his Southampton studio. Inspired by the environment of the studio, Lambrecht used her unfettered access to document the artist's intricate creative process for 3 years. The photographs create a visual diary composed of vivid and engaging views culled from hundreds of images taken during her tenure. The photographer was in the presence of the painter as he worked daily on two major series, Reflections, and The Interiors. Lambrecht portrays him as completely absorbed, oblivious to the camera, composing, painting and stepping back to study the results, at times creating a trompe l'oeil effect . Her art is found in allowing him to do his, unaffected by her presence, as if invisible.
