“Model Living Room” by Lynne Cohen is a post-modern work. It depicts an everyday scene, a reproduction of intimate comfort. However, the photograph’s construction turns this apparent reality into an absurd or indeed comic moment.
This work is registered in the inventory of the National Collection of Contemporary Art, that the CNAP has, as its mission, to enrich, preserve and disseminate.
Thanks to Pascal Beausse, head of the photographic collections, and to the teams of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques who have allowed this project to be carried out.
