Six Red Barbras (Jewish Jackie Series)
1993
Inspired by Andy Warhol's celebrity silkscreen portraits, Deborah Kass repeats the image of Barbra Streisand six times across the canvas in bold red tones, reimagining the pop art genre through a distinctly Jewish feminist lens. By substituting Warhol's iconic subjects with Streisand—a proud symbol of Jewish-American identity and female empowerment—Kass challenges the male-dominated art historical canon while celebrating a cultural icon often overlooked in that space.
