"Functioning as a kind of one-woman CSI unit, she has photographed pictures and objects in collectors’ homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and off the walls, in museum storage. All the while, she’s revealed how the installation of artworks is never neutral. Lawler photographed Jasper Johns’s White Flag hanging over a collector’s bed, Jeff Koons’s $80 million Rabbit near someone’s refrigerator, a woman casually gesturing with a Picasso sculpture in hand, a Gerhard Richter nude resting on its side on a museum floor, and Warhols galore in auction houses, art fairs, apartments, and galleries."

I really love this series, I have been focusing and reading a lot about the objects that we hold dear to us, how we treat them, and what they mean. I feel like this series speaks a lot about that with these precious pieces of artwork and the places they inhabit. Do they take on a new form or can you view art anywhere?
