拍品专文

"RL: I am nominally copying, but I am really restating the copied thing in other terms. In doing that, the original acquired a totally different texture. It isn't thick or thin brushstrokes, it's dots and flat colors and unyielding lines. It seems to be antiart, but I don't think of it that way. I never thought it was Dada in that sense, though I thought it might look Dada.
LA: It's a sort of simulated Dada
RL: It's examining it, getting closer to it. It is like some of my later brushstroke apples. I am doing works now that incorporate prints of enlarged brushstrokes, fake brushstrokes, plus real brushstrokes.
LA: What's what I mean about iconography. You go in for doubletakes in your inconography no less than your form.
RL: Yes, I'm thrilled about the idea that I am doing, particularly the apples with brushstrokes made out of false brushstrokes, because it says, "That's what art is."
