About the Work
This work by Louise Lawler includes a glass shelf on which to display a set of three Chablis glasses, titled Who Says, Who Shows, Who Counts. Lawler's work often challenges the "glass ceiling" experienced by females in the art world and beyond. The title, the feminine curves of the glasses, and the aristocratic world in which these glasses would normally exist, all parallel the challenges faced by the artist.
About the Artist
Louise Lawler’s photographs focus on the presentation and marketing of artwork. Photographing the work of artists in collectors' homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and in museum storage, Lawler is also known for her installation pieces and experimental works. Birdcalls, from the 1970s, is an audio artwork that transforms the names of famous male artists into a sound poem, parroting names such as Richard Artschwager, Dan Graham, and Lawrence Weiner—a mockery of the conditions of privilege and recognition given to male artists at that time.
