Richard Pettibone Bugatti, 1963 Signed and dated lower right Graphite and oil on canvas 40 1/4 x 30 inches Provenance The artist Private Collection (acquired directly from the artist) Richard Pettibone lived and worked in Charlotteville, NY. A pioneer of appropriation art, Pettibone has dedicated his career to creating miniature replicas of artworks by iconic contemporary artists, including Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol. Initially constructed to match the size of images of the original works he found in Artforum magazine, Pettibone’s small-scale facsimiles address themes of reproduction, seriality, and authorship.
