The renowned American artist Sherrie Levine engages her ongoing
practice of appropriating artworks from the Western art historical
canon-this time taking Ad Reinhardt's Blue Paintings as a point of
departure. Monochromes After Reinhardt: 1-28 (2018) continues the
artist's ongoing investigation of color separated from its
representational function. Inspired by the exhibition Ad Reinhardt:
Blue Paintings held at David Zwirner, New York in 2017, Levine has
created abstract restatements of the 28 works that were on view,
making use of pixilation to consolidate the range of blue tones in
each painting into a single, truly monochromatic value. This work
revisits a technique first employed by Levine in her 1989 group of
woodcut prints Meltdown, where an averaging algorithm was used to
create a checkerboard composition based on modernist artists'
iconic paintings. Sherrie Levine: After Reinhardt is published on
the occasion of Levine's eponymous solo exhibition at David
Zwirner's Upper East Side location in New York in 2019. The
publication features full color reproductions of Monochromes After
Reinhardt: 1-28 and includes the 1965 text "Reinhardt Paints a
Picture," in which Reinhardt famously interviewed himself.
