Double Rembrandt (with steps) 1987 - 1991

"Double Rembrandt (with steps)" (1987-1991) is a mixed media work by American artist duo Doug and Mike Starn. The piece features a fragmented image of Rembrandt's self-portrait, arranged in a grid-like pattern within a constructed wooden frame. The Starn brothers are known for their large-scale, intricately layered works that explore themes of memory, history, and the construction of identity. The use of recycled materials and the deconstruction of a famous image add layers of meaning to the piece.
