| book description |

Known for her early â€˜repetitionsâ€™ of the work of her contemporaries â€“ including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol â€“ Sturtevant turned the visual logic of Pop art back on itself, using Duchampâ€™s model of the readymade to probe uncomfortably at the workings of art history in real time. Yet the aspect of her work that allowed her to be described as â€˜the one artist who canâ€™t be copiedâ€™ â€“ her chameleon-like embrace of other artistsâ€™ art â€“ is also what has allowed her to be largely overlooked in the history of postwar American art. As a woman making versions of the work of better-known male artists, she has passed almost unnoticed through the hierarchies of mid-century modernism and postmodernism, at once absent from these histories while nevertheless articulating their structures. Despite a rising reputation in Europe, Sturtevant is still largely unknown in her home country. Published to accompany the first retrospective of her work in a US museum since 1973, at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication considers Sturtevant as a uniquely American artist, with political concerns inflected specifically by her upbringing and adult life in the US. Featuring previously unpublished drawings and sketches from the artistâ€™s archive, the book includes an essay by the exhibition curator that provides a comprehensive overview of the artistâ€™s practice while situating it more concretely within American culture.
