Provenance Private Collection, acquired directly from the artist Exhibited New York, L&M Arts, Liza Lou September - December 2008 Savannah, SCAD Museum of Art, Liza Lou Let the Light In, October 2011 - January 2012 Literature Liza Lou exh. cat., L & M Arts, New York, 2008, pp. 40-44 (illustrated) P. Schjeldahl, et al., Liza Lou New York: Rizzoli, 2011, pp. 176-179 (illustrated) Catalogue Essay “Barricade is a fence that floats in the space as a kind of Surrealist object.
