LAURIE SIMMONS (1949- ) Red and White Kitchen. Chromogenic print, the image measuring 38x50 inches (96.5x127 cm.), flush mounted, with Simmons' signature in ink on verso, and a label with the artist's credit, title, date, medium, dimensions, edition notation 1/5, and Simmon's facsimile signature on mount verso; framed. 1983
This work was exhibited in Simmons' solo show Color Coordinated Interiors 1983 at Skarstedt Gallery in 2007, and was produced in collaboration with Sperone Westwater, New York.
"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)
