Richard Pettibone

Flowers

1972

Richard Pettibone's *Flowers* is a miniature appropriation work rendered in synthetic polymer and silkscreen on canvas, reflecting the artist's signature practice of meticulously reproducing iconic works of art at a dramatically reduced scale. Housed in an artist's frame, the piece engages with questions of authenticity, reproduction, and value within the Pop Art tradition. Pettibone's careful replication invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between original and copy, scale and significance.
