10 Black Barbras (Jewish Jackie Series)
Deborah Kass's *10 Black Barbras (Jewish Jackie Series)* is a silkscreen and polymer paint on canvas that presents a repeated grid of Barbra Streisand's iconic profile, rendered in stark black against a dark background. Drawing a deliberate parallel to Andy Warhol's celebrated celebrity portraits, Kass reclaims the pop art canon by centering a proudly Jewish, female icon in place of Warhol's predominantly white, gentile subjects. The work asserts questions of identity, representation, and cultural visibility, positioning Streisand as both a personal and collective symbol of Jewish-American womanhood.
