Sherrie Levine — frosted glass, glass and wood
Sherrie Levine

frosted glass, glass and wood

1989

Sherrie Levine's *Frosted Glass* (1989) presents a sleek, minimalist construction of frosted glass and wood that engages with her ongoing interrogation of originality, authorship, and appropriation. The translucent, diffused quality of the frosted glass obscures and mediates vision, reflecting Levine's interest in concealment and the instability of meaning. The work challenges the boundaries between fine art and functional object, inviting viewers to question assumptions about value, authenticity, and the nature of artistic creation.
