Lot Essay

'Lynn Davis's photographs have more to do with the sculptural concerns of Judd, Serra and Brancusi than with the spectrum of narrative or documentary photography. Viewed through her camera, even the most famous landmarks, from Egyptian pyramids to buildings by modernist architects, lose their specificity and reappear in a new graphic context that is austere, contemplative-and often lyrical.' (Carol Diehl, 'Lynn Davis,' Art in America, December 1, 2010, Reviews)
