Eugenia Butler :: 1947 - 2008
[My Last Museum Piece :: Eugenia Butler]
Conceptual artist Eugenia Butler died this week leaving a collection of 35 years worth of conceptual work behind. I met Butler briefly a few years ago when she shared a studio with a friend in downtown Los Angeles and remember the massive scale of the pieces she was working on at the time. More details about her life and work are here, and with that I will leave you with a question she asked guests to consider at a series of private dinners that were held in connnection to an exhibit of her "Book of Lies" series:
"What is the lie in which I am most complicit, and what is the truth that most feed my life?"
