Specialist note
« Mes débuts ont été marqués par l'expressionnisme abstrait et le pop art. (...). Je me suis posé la question de savoir ce qu'était l'intérieur de l'art, et je me suis intéressée à sa sous-structure. Et j'ai réalisé, à mon grand étonnement, que si l'on prenait une œuvre source originale et qu'on la répétait, on ne se débarrassait pas seulement de la ressemblance, mais on s'occupait de la sous-structure de la peinture. » - Elaine Sturtevant
“My beginnings were surrounded by Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. (…). A question I asked myself was what the interior of art was, and I became concerned with its substructure. And I realized that, to my astonishment, if you took an original source work, and repeated it, you would not only be throwing out resemblance, but you would be dealing with the substructure of painting.” - Elaine Sturtevant
