Richard Pettibone

Andy Warhol, ‘Sixteen Jackies’, 1964

1996

Richard Pettibone's 1964 work "Sixteen Jackies" appropriates Andy Warhol's iconic silkscreen series depicting Jacqueline Kennedy, reducing Warhol's larger compositions to a modest scale while maintaining the repetitive grid format and photomechanical printing technique characteristic of Pop Art. Through this miniaturization and replication of Warhol's already appropriated image, Pettibone engages in a meta commentary on mass production, artistic authority, and the circulation of celebrity imagery within 1960s visual culture. The work exemplifies Pettibone's practice of creating small scale copies of famous artworks, simultaneously paying homage to and questioning the originality and uniqueness valued in fine art.
