**Roberta Smith: [Imitations That Transcend Flattery](https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/arts/design/imitations-that-transcend-flattery.html), The New York Times:**  
_"For more more than 40 years, the artist Richard Pettibone has thought small in at least two ways. He has relentlessly produced exquisitely accurate pocket-size copies of modernist masterworks by artists from Duchamp and Brancusi to Lichtenstein and Warhol. In addition, he has seemed completely unperturbed by this apparent lack of originality. What has it gotten him? Certainly not the attention he deserves."_
