In 1981, Sherrie Levine rephotographed the reproduced photos of "Allie Mae Burroughs" (1936) by Walker Evans. This work, "After Walker Evans" (1981), drew considerable attention from critics. This work by Levine attempted to meditate on the developing reproduction techniques' influence on art, and her work can be called unique with regard to the following two points. 1) Levine's work is not merely a reproduction of the original artwork but her own photography that is different from the original, and intended to present viewers with a difference between the original and her own, bringing out the contrast between the two and setting a new perspective. 2) The grainy simulation image of her works do not only turn a cool gaze on but also forms the index to the 1980's.
