Untitled (Cleveland Museum of Art, #1), 2018. Luisa Lambri (Italian, b. 1969). Pigment print; framed: 40 x 45 cm (15 3/4 x 17 11/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of the Artist 2018.1045 © 2017 Luisa Lambri In a grouping of twelve photographs, Lambri sensitizes us to the complexity and richness of texture and tactility designed into the museum’s north wing. Six of the images are close-ups of its iconic alternating light and dark gray stripes; the other six are close-ups of the joins of solid, monochromatic, medium gray blocks of stone. This work explores usually unnoticed details of the museum’s north wing, which was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1971.
