Patricia Lee and Briony Fer Discuss Sturtevant's Warhol Marilyn at Central Saint Martins

other · 2026-04-22

On February 22, 2016, Patricia Lee and Briony Fer will engage in a public dialogue at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, centered on the artwork of Elaine Sturtevant. Lee references her book, 'Sturtevant: Warhol Marilyn,' which explores how Sturtevant's reinterpretation of pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol questioned the concepts of authorship and originality within contemporary art. The discussion will cover Sturtevant's 1962 silkscreen portraits of Marilyn Monroe, her critique of modernism, and the influence of celebrity culture. Attendance is free, but prior reservation via email is necessary. This event is part of the Monday Guest Lecture Series at the University of the Arts London, with the One Work series published by The MIT Press.
