Sculpture by Jessica Stockholder, Lay of the Land, Installation view (orange plastic shopping baskets, driveway mirrors, oriental carpet, wooden stools, acrylic paint, pendant lights and bulbs, hardware; 275 x 345 x 350 cm; Centraal Museum, Utrecht, Netherlands; 2019). The image illustrates a key later body of work in Jessica Stockholder's career in the 2000s, when she produced immersive installations and exhibitions, which continued to combine found and purchased objects and zones of painted, carpeted or intrinsic color into unified works that merged artwork and architecture. This work was exhibited in her show "Stuff Matters" (Centraal Museum, 2019), which she co-curated with Laurie Cluitmans and which spanned twenty years of her work. The show incorporated sixty items from the museum's collection—which she combined with her own work in a way that was analogous to her use of objects in her sculpture—two of her "assists" (sculptures strapped to independent objects), sculptures, and an ephemeral installation. This work was publicly exhibited in a prominent museum and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later body of work in Jessica Stockholder's career in the 2000s: her immersive installations and exhibitions, which continued to combine found and purchased objects—increasingly domestic, discount-store items—and zones of painted, carpeted or intrinsic color into unified "walk-in paintings" that merged artwork and architecture. In her later work, she often invited a greater degree of connectivity and viewer participation by incorporating "viewing" ramps and platforms, locally salvaged materials and objects, and other artists' work. Her installations sometimes included autonomous new works, her "assists"—modular sculptures that can only stand upright when strapped to a large, commonplace auxiliary object (not considered part of the work), such as a chair or piano. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later stage and body of work, which brought Stockholder continuing recognition through exhibitions and installations in museums and galleries and coverage by major critics and publications. Stockholder's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
