The American Richard Pettibone is acknowledged as a master copyist on the international auction market. The artist continues the concept of Pop Art, ennobling everyday commodities to objects of art, copying and alterating famous works. Pettibone ironizes the idea of an artistic demand for originality. Particularly the miniature-like copies after Warhol are sought after. [AKF].
