Lawrence has been working in outsized formats since before some of you were born. He’s one of the guys who put a little retinal juice back in conceptual art in the early days, presiding over a very public ménage à trois consisting of concrete poetry, minimalism & color field painting. Or something like that. At any rate, who can count all the artists who owe part of their vision (not to mention their living) to this legend in his own time? thanks.
