Sherrie Levine is one of the most well-known postmodernism artists in the United States. In 1981, Levine rephotographed the photos of "Allie Mae Burroughs" (1936) by Walker Evans. This work, "After Walker Evans" (1981) brings out the "difference" of 45 years as presented by the "differences" in images between Evans's photographs and her own. Reproduction techniques were widespread in the 1980s, and Levine turned her cool gaze on the "real" world to produce simulation works that instantly change like a television screen. This "After Walker Evans" series drew considerable attention from critics. Through her works, Levine has added another aspect to the diversity of Contemporary art.
