APPROPRIATE THIS

Leave it to the post-Conceptualist Appropriationist and law-abiding subversive Sherrie Levine to rationally embrace the absence of originality as an artistic movement far superior to creating your own ideas (“Sherrie Levine and the Art of the Remake,” by Kristine McKenna, Nov. 17).

Let’s all have fun contaminating art history by copying original ideas repetitively until the original source becomes so degraded it will become a fuzzy new form of post-Conceptualist Appropriationist minimalist reductivism abstraction.

Rejoice, creators! The yoke of originality has been lifted from your deluded shoulders.
