Taken From the Wind... — Fine Art

Taken From the Wind... - 2009 uses a sentence as the whole artwork. Lawrence Weiner often sets words against a plain field, and here the text stands on its own without a picture around it. The letters run in a steady block, and the white ground keeps the reading clear.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. The matte finish lowers the shine, so you read the words without glare from a lamp.

In a study room, the print goes above a desk near a bookshelf. From the chair you see the text first, and the plain ground keeps the eye moving along each line.
