| Summary |
"Richard Prince emerged in the 1980s as part of a generation of influential and innovative New York-based artists who worked with the margins of American sub-culture and visual debris. Working with such media as painting, artist's books, assisted readymates and photography, Prince extracts images from a small selection of parallel worlds - the worlds of advertising, celebrity, biker gangs, and low comedy, among others - to creat his very own idiosyncratic non-reality which we all, strangely, recognize. His eclectic, recurring subject matter, such as one-line jokes, cowboys 'borrowed' from Marlboro ads, enter his work either as plain text, silkscreened onto canvas (as in the ongoing Joke Paintings), or lifted directly from found images and re-photographed, or painted." - book jacket |
