Louise Lawler — 18-20 inches
Louise Lawler

18-20 inches

2001

Louise Lawler's *18-20 Inches* is a Cibachrome photograph mounted on an aluminium box, continuing the artist's practice of documenting artworks within institutional and domestic settings. The work draws attention to the conditions under which art is displayed, stored, and consumed, questioning the systems of value and presentation that surround objects in the art world. The clinical precision of the Cibachrome process on a rigid aluminium support reinforces Lawler's conceptual interrogation of framing, context, and the mechanics of spectatorship.
