Andy Warhol Mao
A miniature appropriation of Andy Warhol's iconic Mao portrait, Richard Pettibone's work faithfully replicates the bold, flat color fields and silkscreen aesthetic of the original at a dramatically reduced scale. Pettibone's meticulous reproduction challenges notions of authorship, originality, and value in the art world by transforming a monumental Pop Art image into an intimate, jewel-like object. The work exemplifies Pettibone's decades-long practice of reimagining the masterworks of his contemporaries, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between imitation, homage, and artistic identity.
