appropriation and design

In the early 1980s, Sherrie Levine made a career out of re-using or appropriating famous works of art, especially by making new versions of them and placing them in different contexts. Throughout her career, Levine has designed art based on works by prominent male artists from the early 20th century in order to underscore the relative absence of women in the art world at that time.

I find Sherrie Levine’s artwork very amazing as she can change something ugly to something beautiful, that is appropriate as it hasn’t down-graded to a lower liking.
