This is a piece by Nikolas Gambaroff exhibition titled Der Herrische Säugling. This piece is a clear representation of appropriation. Through a use of newspapers, Gambaroff has edited them with rips and tears that show a different set of pages and adds. Looking at the ads showing through the tears, many of which seem to deal with propaganda (handsome written with a dollar sign, the phrase 'Mandatory Viewing', 'for women') It could be assumed that maybe this piece is a statement on how the world uses newspapers these days for ads as opposed to real news. Either way, Nikolas Gambaroff has a good use of appropriation in art.
