R.L. 3 

She showed your work in Paris.

R.L.: She has her Paris gallery. And I think will show there, at least this is what I assume, I don't know what it is absolutely set that she is coming here, but I think that she is. And she is going to take younger artists., I don't know who they are. 

E.V.: And, will she be here, or have an assistant here or what?

R.L.: I am not sure. Probably she will come back and forth. But she will have people who can run the gallery in both places. 

E.V.: I would like to ask you about some of the new galleries. That are very architectural in their make up. I mean the gallery itself, such as Pace or Fishbach or Dwan. Do you feel that artists are influenced by the space in which they exhibit?

R.L.: May be, I really don't know.

E.V.: Alright, now that you are going to have a show at the Guggenheim and you know the space there, is this influencing you? To do a few very large pieces which you wouldn't normally do?

R.L.: Only one piece that I can think of and that is a piece of sculpture, I am doing that I don't think would fit anywhere else. The other thing is that I have borrowed works that I have done before. I am sure that he picked it out for the space. But, I don't think so, I think it is more fitting what we already have into the museum. I think you might be influenced if you had a gallery space that would allow you very large things. T think that large galleries are responding like warehouses because artists are doing things large. They are giving them large spaces. I think that may be Park Place , either it was made for sculptors that work very large or the sculptors got to work very large because of the gallery space. I don't know. But, I hope that they wouldn't be influenced by architecture. Of the gallery, if the thing is , oh, like World House used to be or something like that, I think it could change your style, if you change your style to fit into a kind of architecture, I think it would be silly.

E.V.: No, I don't think that anyone did that, but I wondered if you felt that the space itself might encourage one to work in a certain way. 

R.L.:: It might. And I think that my work responds to the subject matter
