digital description:
Contemporary Brooklyn-based artist Nicola López explores the concept of place in her work, inspired by a longstanding interest in anthropology. This print belongs to López’s Monuments series, in which she created abstract images based on the urban landscape. Objects from everyday life—here, a satellite dish—are presented in forms and settings that monumentalize them beyond their regular use.

These two prints belong to the artist’s Monuments series, in which she produced abstract images based on the urban landscape. Objects from everyday life—here, a television and satellite dish—are included in forms and settings that monumentalize them beyond their regular function.
