Est: €4,000 - €5,000
LAURIE SIMMONS (Long Island, New York, 1949). "Plaid living room". The instant decorator Series, 2004. Flex print. Edition 3/5. Work reproduced on the artist's website. Presents certificate of authenticity, exhibition labels and signature on the back. Provenance: Distrito Cuatro Gallery (Madrid). Measurements: 76,2 x 96,5 cm; 84,1 x 104,1 cm (frame). "Plaid living Room" (2004) belongs to the Instant Decorator series, which was initiated by Simmons in 2001, with the intention of materializing his research around a book on interior decoration published in 1976. This publication had different templates of domestic interiors, which allowed the reader to decorate rooms with fabric swatches and different paintings. By rescuing this "Do it by yourself" idea, the author constructed an image that echoes the aesthetics of collage, where different independent elements coexist, forming a set of great visual expressiveness. Through a domestic interior in which an elegantly dressed woman lies on the carpet, the author poses to the viewer an uncertainty about who this character is, and what she represents. The protagonist is surrounded by luxuries, and looks at the viewer suggestively, but she is alone, and her pose and dress invite her to be represented as just another piece of furniture, as an object of consumption. This representation of the woman, reflecting on her role in the social environment, was one of the first themes explored by Laurie Simmons in her works. In which she related the space of the home with the feminine, like other artists such as Martha Rosler, or Barbara Kruger, who used similar themes and techniques to the one presented here. Laurie Simmons grew up in Long Island, in an era of economic expansion that marked the beginning of material prosperity, but also gave rise to a state of conformity, characteristics that are very recurrent in the themes explored by the artist. Her career stands out for its versatility, as she works as an artist, photographer and filmmaker. After graduating from Tyler School of Art in the late 1960s and settling in New York City, Simmons began to develop her artistic side. In 1972, Simmons discovered a vintage dollhouse in the attic of a toy store in Liberty, New York, so she began making compositions with dolls, which she subsequently photographed and intervened. Most of his works make a statement about traditional gender roles, questioning them and criticizing the objectification of the person, especially women. Simmons is part of the important artistic group, The Pictures Generation, a name given to a group of artists who rose to fame in the 1970s, and which includes world-renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger and Louise Lawler. Much of Simmons' work, like that of the aforementioned artists, is rooted in the role of women and their integration with their environment and society. In a March 2014 interview, Simmons stated, "When I picked up a camera with a group of other women, I'm not going to say it was a radical act, but we were certainly doing it in a kind of defiance or reaction to, a male-dominated world of painting." Today her work is in important collections both private and public, examples include the Queen Sofia Art Center, the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. Work reproduced on the artist's website. Presents certificate of authenticity, exhibition labels and signature on the back. Provenance: Distrito Cuatro Gallery (Madrid).

"In this body of work from 1983, Laurie Simmons explores her attraction to interior design and cinematic process by using rear screen projections of chromatically themed interiors and Japanese designed American "Teenette" dolls to create photographs where color and two-dimensional planes form a functional world. These idealized statuettes, standing only three inches tall, are specifically lit to allow them to enter the 2-D space, reminding us that artistic devices are employed." (Skarsted Gallery's website)

LAURIE SIMMONS (Long Island, New York, 1949). "Checkered living room." The instant decorator, 2004.
Est: €4,000 - €5,000
LAURIE SIMMONS (Long Island, New York, 1949). "Plaid living room". The instant decorator Series, 2004. Flex print. Edition 3/5. Work reproduced on the artist's website. Presents certificate of authenticity, exhibition labels and signature on the back. Provenance: Galería Distrito Cuatro (Madrid). Measurements: 76,2 x 96,5 cm; 84,1 x 104,1 cm (frame). "Plaid living Room" (2004) belongs to the Instant Decorator series, which Simmons began in 2001, with the intention of materialising his research into a book on interior decoration published in 1976. This publication had different templates of domestic interiors, which allowed the reader to decorate rooms with fabric swatches and different paints. By rescuing this "Do it by yourself" idea, the author constructed an image that echoes the aesthetics of collage, where different independent elements coexist, forming an ensemble of great visual expressiveness. Through a domestic interior in which an elegantly dressed woman lies on the carpet, the artist poses an uncertainty to the viewer as to who this character is and what she represents. The protagonist is surrounded by luxury, and looks suggestively at the viewer, but she is alone, and her pose and dress invite her to be represented as just another piece of furniture, as an object of consumption. This representation of women, reflecting on their role in the social environment, was one of the first themes explored by Laurie Simmons in her work. In which she related the space of the home to the feminine, as did other artists such as Martha Rosler or Barbara Kruger, who used similar themes and techniques to the present one. Laurie Simmons grew up on Long Island, in an era of economic expansion that marked the beginning of material prosperity, but at the same time also gave rise to a state of conformity, characteristics that are very recurrent in the themes explored by the artist. Her career is notable for its versatility, as she works as an artist, photographer and filmmaker. After graduating from Tyler School of Art in the late 1960s and settling in New York City, Simmons began to develop her artistic side. In 1972, Simmons discovered a vintage dollhouse in the attic of a toy store in Liberty, New York, and began to make compositions with dolls, which he would later photograph and intervene. Most of his works make a statement about traditional gender roles, questioning them and criticising the objectification of the individual, especially women. Simmons is part of the important artistic group, The Pictures Generation, a name given to a group of artists who rose to fame in the 1970s, including such world-renowned artists as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger and Louise Lawler. Much of Simmons' work, like that of these artists, is based on the role of women and their integration with their environment and society. In a March 2014 interview, Simmons stated, "When I took a camera with a group of other women, I'm not going to say it was a radical act, but we were certainly doing it in a kind of defiance or reaction to, a male-dominated world of painting." Today her work is in major private and public collections, including the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.
