1960 – Psycho/Franz Kline, Lehigh V Span, 2019
Archival pigment print, edition 1/6
Accession date: 2022
Gift of the artist

Lautenberg creates a history lesson by pairing iconic artworks with stills from Hollywood movies released the same year the artwork was made. Her process is intuitive; the artist finds images that “speak to each other” in ways that disrupt the way we experience both the film and the artwork.
