Richard Pettibone
About the artist:
FTIgallery.com offers Philadelphia an inventory of over 200 prints from POP artist like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Richard Pettibone who was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1938. He is one of the pioneering artists to use appropriation techniques. In 1964, he created the first of his appropriated pieces, two tiny painted “replicas” of the iconic Campbell’s soup cans by Andy Warhol . Pettibone straddles the lines of appropriation, Pop, and Conceptual Art, and has received critical attention for decades for the important questions his work raises about authorship, craftsmanship, and the original in art. His work has been exhibited at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, and the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA. Pettibone is currently based in New York.
