Sherrie Levine - is an American painter, photographer and conceptual artist. She takes existing art and duplicates it. Forming her own critique around it. She particularly uses male artist's work, for instance the "Fountain" by Marcel Duchamp. This is done to make a point about how Female artists are undervalued for their work though out art history. I guess you could say that her art work is an example of Appropriation.
