Sherri Levine: Selected Works: Brussels
Past exhibition
Overview
Sherri Levine together with artists like Richard Prince, Louise Lawler, and Barbara Kruger, formed the Pictures Generation, a group of artists characterised by their use of appropriation in an age where society was being saturated by images.
Levine is known for her series of re-photographed works by famous photographers like Eliot Porter, Edward Weston, and Walker Evans. Her production includes a wide range of medium including photography, painting, and sculpture. She has worked with the concept of appropriation for more than 30 years, revisiting works from various modern artists and thus questioning the set of values they represent. Notions of talent or authenticity become irrelevant – her works often being produced in series by specialised artisans following her instructions.
