Sturtevant — Study for Flowers
Sturtevant

Study for Flowers

Sturtevant's *Study for Flowers* is a silkscreen on canvas that engages directly with Andy Warhol's iconic *Flowers* series, replicating its bold, flat blooms and vivid commercial aesthetic. Rather than functioning as mere imitation, the work interrogates notions of authorship, originality, and artistic identity by deliberately appropriating another artist's signature imagery. Through this act of repetition, Sturtevant challenges the viewer to reconsider the boundaries between copying and creation, originality and reproduction.
