Andy Warhol, 'Sixteen Jackies', 1964
A meticulous miniature appropriation of Andy Warhol's iconic 1964 grid composition, Pettibone's work reproduces the repeated image of Jacqueline Kennedy in the moments surrounding her husband's assassination. Rendered in acrylic and silkscreen on canvas, the piece reflects Pettibone's signature practice of replicating landmark works of contemporary art at a dramatically reduced scale. The artist's handmade frame further emphasizes the self-aware, object-like quality of the work, blurring the line between homage, critique, and original creation.
