Sturtevant

Born in Lakewood, Ohio, and based in Paris since the 1990s, Sturtevant has made ground-breaking and enigmatic work since her first exhibitions in New York in the mid-1960s. Best known for the repetition of works by other artists - including Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Felix Gonzalez-Torres - she made her controversial artistic debut in 1965 when she replicated Warhol's flower paintings, just months after their initial presentation. Despite early hostility to Sturtevant's work and ideas, her influence has grown significantly over the past two decades. Since 2000, Sturtevant has embraced film and video, advertising and internet-based images, producing work that reflects the fragmented and pervasive nature of our image-saturated culture.
