Sturtevant: Drawing Double Reversal

"Lichtenstein Hot Dog Graphite Tire" (1966) is reproduced from Sturtevant: Drawing Double Reversal, the new JRP|Ringier release documenting the first large-scale exhibition ever devoted to the artist's drawings. The organizers write, "Over the past 50 years, Sturtevant developed what is perhaps the most radical oeuvre of her generation, an oeuvre distinguished by rigorous and unwavering conceptual thought. Concerned with more than the mere contemplation of art, she aimed for a change in attitude. She irritated and provoked art appreciators and the art world alike by replicating the original works of contemporary artists, which she used—surprisingly soon after the 'original'—as a source and catalyst for 'expanding and developing current aesthetic ideas, examining the concept of originality and exploring the relationship between original and originality, as well as accessing space for new thinking.'
