Installation by Ann Agee, Agee Manufacturing Co., glazed porcelain and painted wood, 55" x 108" x 60", 2009. Installation view, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN. The image illustrates a later body of work in Ann Agee's career in the 2000s and 2010s, in which she created sprawling installations and exhibitions that merged installation art, domestic environment and showroom, and placed her ceramic objects and pieces of furniture within environments of hand-painted and stenciled, large-scale "wallpaper drawings." This work shows a display of her later, more fanciful vases and figurines. It and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent art venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications by prominent critics, and commissioned by major art museums.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later body of work in Ann Agee's career in the 2000s: her sprawling installations and exhibitions, which that merged installation art, domestic environment and showroom displays of her later, more fanciful vases and figurines, often under the auspices of "Agee Manufacturing Co." This work often included furniture and common domestic objects and her hand-painted and stenciled, large-scale "wallpaper drawings" of domestic rooms and abstract and commercial patterns. These functioned as commentary and as environments for her ceramic works and engage issues of labor, domestic life, gender and class, and museum display. 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 visualize this major later phase and highly distinctive summation of her work, which attracted continued attention, inclusion in major exhibitions, national reviews, and museum commissions. Agee's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in detail in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
