Artist
Photography
Sherrie Levine challenges notions of authorship and originality by directly appropriating and recontextualizing iconic works of art and documentary photography. Levine rose to prominence as a member of the Pictures Generation, a group of artists based in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s, whose work examined the structures of signification underlying mass-circulated images—and, in many cases, borrowing these images in order to imbue them with a new, critically inflected meaning.
