An appropriation pioneer, Richard Pettibone laid the groundwork for many appropriation artists including Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler, Vik Muniz, Eric Doeringer, Richard Prince and Elaine Sturtevant. Ken Johnson, The New York Times observes: Richard Pettibone has devoted his career to making small reproductions of works by Brancusi, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Stella and other artists whose fame far exceeded his.

The recent Museum of Modern Art exhibition of Elaine Sturtevant, an appropriation artist who was a contemporary of Richard Pettibone, caused a spike in auction prices. Sturtevant's appropriation of Roy Lichtenstein Crying Girl fetched $3.4 million at Christie's, 11/12/14; the same painting sold for $710.K at Phillips three years earlier.
Similarly, auction prices for Richard Pettibone Pop Art appropriations have increased dramatically recently.
