// Barcham Green Portfolio No. 5 by Sherrie Levine, created in 1986, is a photogravure that examines themes of appropriation and originality. Known for recontextualizing existing imagery, Levine often draws from iconic photographs, as seen in this portrait, which evokes the stark, raw authenticity of Depression-era photography. The subject’s solemn expression and the worn texture of the wooden backdrop convey a sense of resilience and hardship. By reproducing and presenting this image as her own, Levine invites viewers to consider the nature of authorship, identity, and artistic legacy. This piece, part of a limited edition of 25, exemplifies Levine’s challenge to traditional ideas of originality in art.
