Sherrie Levine's *After Rodchenko: 1-12* consists of twelve gelatin silver prints that directly rephotograph Alexander Rodchenko's iconic black-and-white photographs, challenging notions of authorship, originality, and ownership in art. By appropriating the work of a celebrated male modernist master, Levine questions the mythology surrounding artistic genius and the idea of the unique, original artwork. The series is a cornerstone of her broader appropriation practice, positioning reproduction itself as a radical artistic act.
