Exploring the development of groundbreaking artist Sherrie Levines work, this catalogue looks at four series central to her practice.The latest in the
Spotlight Series, which focuses on new bodies of work by contemporary artists,
Sherrie Levine: Hong Kong Dominoes showcases several series that distinctly engage the artists ongoing inquiry into notions of authorship, originality, and authenticity.
Many of the works are consistent with Levines practicethe deliberate reproduction of other artists works and styles, so that her work and the original are nearly indistinguishable (as with the
After Henri Matisse (1985) and
After Feininger (2021) series)A number of the works make reference to modernist masterpieces, questioning the stereotypical construct of the heroic male artist. In her
Monochromes After Renoir Nudes (2016) series, Levine used a computer program to calculate the average tone of the nude figures in Renoirs paintings and then used this color to create monochrome panels.
Published for the first time,
Hong Kong Dominoes: 112 (2017) replicates the patterns of a set of dominoes that Levine purchased in Hong Kong, evoking both minimalist art and popular games.
The catalogue also features a new essay by Larry List, which tracks the history of Levines inspirations and artistic practice, and an interview with Levine by Jeanne Siegel, originally published in the June/ Summer 1985 issue of
Arts Magazine, which explores the artists use of appropriated imagery.
