Lawrence Weiner — Shot to Hell...
Lawrence Weiner

Shot to Hell...

A bold conceptual work by Lawrence Weiner, *Shot to Hell...* employs screenprint and baked enamel in colors on steel to merge language and material in a characteristically direct manner. The industrial durability of the steel ground contrasts with the visceral energy of the phrase, reinforcing Weiner's belief that art exists in the relationship between the work, the artist, and the viewer. The piece exemplifies his signature use of text as both medium and message, transforming words into sculptural, physical presence.
