The Deb series by Deborah Kass (1952) belongs to a groundbreaking body of work Kass made as a cultural challenge to the legacy of Andy Warhol’s screenprints from the 1960s. Kass employed Warhol’s signature mass production printing process, but switched the content, swapping Warhol’s chosen celebrities with images of people who were significant to her, such as artists Cindy Sherman and Elizabeth Murray, art historian Linda Nochlin, and perhaps most memorably Barbra Streisand. In these Deb works, Kass is directly writing herself into the art historical canon. This project is fundamentally an effort to challenge the framework of art history—a history in which female, queer and Jewish figures are frequently left out.
