Sturtevant's 'Johns Painting With Two Balls' (1987) uses encaustic, paper collage, three joined canvases, metal brackets, and two balls to reference and reinterpret Jasper Johns' artistic vocabulary. The work exemplifies Sturtevant's practice of appropriation and replication as a critical artistic strategy. By recreating and reimagining canonical artworks, the artist questions authorship and originality.
