    The delicate intimacy of Richard Pettibone’s pocket-sized reproductions is a testament to his art historical prerogative, respect and overall understanding of the hallowed place which appropriation and taken in Modern and Contemporary Art. In the present lot, Pettibone reproduces in miniature Andy Warhol’s iconic Sixteen Jackies, 1964 which itself is comprised of appropriated news photographs of Jacqueline Kennedy. Pettibone’s unabashed Duchampian method of appropriating the appropriators is only fitting in a post Duchamp and Warhol world.
    “Pettibone is perfectly comfortable both with high-end craftsmanship and the canon of art history. In fact it is through his work that the long history of appropriation can be best traced: not just to Duchamp but also to Picasso, to Surrealism as well as Dada, and well beyond,”  (N. Princenthal, “Look Again: Surveying Richard Pettibone,” Art in America, March 2006 , p. 132)
