Label Text Levine's Barcham Green Portfolio No. 5, 1986, a photogravure and aquatint, is an iconic work by the artist comprised of a reproduction of a famous, depression-era image by the American artist Walker Evans. It is a landmark work of postmodern-appropriation art. Through this image and others, the artist exposes mass media's manipulations of information and questions the commodification of art through a decidely feminist point of view. Levine is widely collected by major institutions around the world; this will be the first work by the artist to enter the collections. Source: News, Oct Nov Dec 2018
