Sherrie Levine

Two works: (i) black mirror:12, 2004 (ii): silver mirror: 10

Sherrie Levine's paired mirror works engage with her longstanding investigation into appropriation, reproduction, and the nature of originality. The black and silver mirrored surfaces simultaneously reflect and absorb the viewer's gaze, collapsing the distinction between artwork and audience while evoking themes of desire, loss, and doubling. In their stark, minimalist elegance, the works challenge notions of authorship and authenticity that have defined Levine's practice since the 1970s.
