Check #12 1985

Sherrie Levine's 1985 artwork "Check #12" is a striking example of appropriation art. The piece consists of a grid of alternating red and gray squares, mimicking the style of minimalist painter Agnes Martin. Levine's work explores themes of originality and authorship, questioning the nature of artistic creation by replicating existing works. This piece, like many of her others, challenges viewers to consider the role of the artist and the meaning of artistic originality.
