Richard Pettibone

Selected Images

Richard Pettibone's *Selected Images* presents a meticulous exploration of appropriation and reproduction, characteristic of the artist's signature practice of creating miniaturized replicas of iconic works by artists such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Duchamp. Pettibone challenges notions of originality and authorship by recontextualizing celebrated images within an intimate scale, inviting viewers to reconsider the value and meaning embedded in canonical art history. The work reflects his longstanding engagement with the Pictures Generation ethos, blurring the boundaries between homage, critique, and artistic reinvention.
