L’Enfant Juif
2006
Sherrie Levine's *L'Enfant Juif* is a two-part bronze sculpture that continues the artist's longstanding investigation into appropriation, authorship, and cultural memory. The work's title, French for "The Jewish Child," evokes charged historical and emotional resonances, layering identity and collective trauma onto the cool, austere materiality of cast bronze. Levine's characteristic strategy of reframing existing images and objects invites the viewer to question originality and ownership while confronting the weight of history embedded in the piece.
