Gallerist Susanne Vielmetter says of artist Laura Aguilar, "She was both the subject and the object. She was both the photographer and the mood." "Laura's passing is a profound loss," says Chon Noriega, director of the Chicano Studies Research Center. "She had an ability to cut through ... biases and habits of thought. … And she did it as an expression of the stunning beauty of the human body, including her own."
