Gold Barbra (Jewish Jackie Series)
1992
Deborah Kass appropriates Andy Warhol's iconic silkscreen technique to celebrate Barbra Streisand as a symbol of Jewish American identity and female stardom. The work presents Streisand's glamorous image bathed in shimmering gold, elevating her to the status of a cultural icon in the tradition of Warhol's celebrity portraits. By inserting a proudly Jewish feminine figure into the art historical canon, Kass challenges the male-dominated and largely non-Jewish narratives that have defined Pop Art.
