Purpose of use

The installation image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early body of work by Elana Herzog from the 1980s and 1990s: her minimal sculptures of aggressively reconfigured (by smocking, puckering, cutting and stretching) found linens, shower curtains (in this work), rugs, drapery and lace. This work has been described as displaying absurdist regard for the functionality and abjectness of its raw materials, and focused on themes relating to the body, gender and women's undergarments, nature, cleanliness and privacy. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this distinct and developmental body of work, which brought Herzog early recognition from galleries, art journals, and daily press publications. Herzog's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Elana Herzog, and the installation was site-specific and temporary, so it no longer exists in this form and cannot be replaced by a free image.

Other information

The image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.
