Louise Lawler (b. 1947 USA) is an influential American conceptual artist known for her work that examines the presentation and contextualization of art within institutional, commercial, and private spaces. Lawler’s photographs often depict iconic artworks as they are displayed in museums, galleries, auction houses, or private homes, focusing on the ways in which art is framed, installed, and perceived in these different settings. Her work critiques the art world’s power structures and the commodification of art, questioning how value and meaning are constructed through context and presentation. Lawler is associated with the Pictures Generation, a group of artists who emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, known for their critical approach to media and representation. Her conceptual and analytical approach has had a lasting impact on contemporary art, with her work being exhibited in major institutions worldwide.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
