Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris
Leanne Shapton
A clever idea that appeals to the voyeur in all of us. Disguised as an auction catalogue, Lenore and Hal's relationships' demise is documented through the selling-off of their possessions. It's a gripping rummage through their stuff tempered with a little self-satisfaction from their acquiring yet another kitschy flea market find. Full of detail, poignancy and wit, the lingering question after they broke up is still: why would she auction all her bras?
