{"title":"Sturtevant","description":"\u003cp\u003eElaine Sturtevant (1924–2014) built a practice around the exact repetition of other artists' works — Warhol's flowers, Beuys's felt suits, Duchamp's \u003cem\u003eNude Descending a Staircase\u003c\/em\u003e — executed with such precision that the question of what constitutes an original became genuinely unstable. Working from the early 1960s onward, she was largely dismissed, then rediscovered, then recognised as one of the most rigorous conceptual artists of the twentieth century. The work was never about copying. It was about the conditions under which authorship, ownership, and meaning are produced and reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe materials gathered here — publications, ephemera, and documents that engage with Sturtevant's practice directly or through critical proximity — record the slow institutional reckoning with a body of work that had always been ahead of the conversation. Each object is a printed trace of that reckoning: a point at which repetition was forced to account for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rafael-melendez-after-sturtevant","title":"Rafael Melendez — After Sturtevant","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtist publication \/ pamphlet\u003cbr\u003eThe Academy of Realness, 2022\u003cbr\u003eReleased for SWAB Art Fair, Barcelona, October 2022\u003cbr\u003e16 pages\u003cbr\u003eOffset print on folded paper stock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: very good; light handling wear consistent with production and storage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 16-page artist pamphlet produced by Rafael Melendez under the pseudonym The Academy of Realness.
