About The Work
For the creation of this new “statement,” Lawrence Weiner decided to liberate himself from the direct printing on the wall in order to lead the spectator towards a new relationship to his linguistic proposition.
For this major figure of conceptual art, Form of Difficulty occupies a particular part in his recent production. Created on a textile medium with embroidered letters, Form of Difficulty offers a dual reading to the eye. It is both a sculpture, which we can read and activate, and a perfectly realized “painting.” Through the use of traditional embroidering techniques, each word requires a plasticity which the artist had never achieved, conferring the multiple (12 copies) an exceptional status.
