Andy Warhol, 'Lavender Disaster', 1963
Richard Pettibone's meticulously rendered miniature reproduction of Andy Warhol's iconic *Lavender Disaster* exemplifies his lifelong practice of appropriating celebrated works of art at a dramatically reduced scale. Using acrylic and silkscreen on canvas, Pettibone faithfully replicates Warhol's haunting grid of repeated electric chair images, originally rendered in muted lavender tones. The work raises provocative questions about originality, authorship, and the nature of reproduction, turning the lens of Pop Art's own fascination with repetition back upon itself.
