Sherrie Levine is an American photographer, she has done work including; mostly portraiture of less fortunate scenarios, she mostly works in black and white and focuses on facial expressions with a very plain and simple background but she know focuses on sculpture masterpieces.
“Her works have been interpreted as a commentary on the death of Modernism and its ideals, notions of artistic originality, the authenticity and autonomy of the art object and its status as a commodity.
Upon first glance, Sherrie Levine’s sculptures seem modest, calm, and uncomplicated.
Works like “Fountain (After Marcel Duchamp)” (1991) are striking in their visual presentation; however, they soon become, like the “After Walker Evans” series, muddled with potentially disparate concepts of art and its function. The confusion stems from two key places of origin: the title and the shape of the work. If one is familiar with Levine’s work in any way, the questions of authorship and authenticity remain paramount in the evaluation of any work past 1975.”
i personally think that the ideas behind her sculpture work is much more impressive than her photography.
