Catalogue Note
When Andy Warhol depicted Marilyn Monroe in 1962, he simultaneously appropriated the world-wide popularity and celebrity status of the movie star; the painting gained instant celebrity by referencing the subject's celebrity. When Richard Pettibone appropriates Andy Warhol, the same transference of status occurs. Pettibone's miniaturized replicas of well-known icons offer a fresh layer of appropriation.
