Publisher: Hatje Cantz | First Edition 2002
Format: Two hardcover volumes in slipcase with 28-page liner booklet & postcard | 402 pages
Richard Prince: Paintings / Photographs is a landmark publication that traces the provocative and genre-defying work of one of America’s most influential contemporary artists. Presented as a deluxe slipcased edition, this set includes two hardcover volumes one focused on painting, the other on photography accompanied by a bilingual liner booklet with critical essays and a complete exhibition history. In addition it comes with a Richard Prince post-card (shown in photo)
Spanning from 1977 to 2001, the book showcases Prince’s groundbreaking practice of appropriation. It includes his early rephotographed advertisements and biker imagery, the iconic Marlboro cowboys, “joke” paintings, and works that blur the line between lowbrow media and high art. By merging text, photography, and painting, Prince redefined the boundaries of authorship and originality.
Designed in close collaboration with the artist and released to coincide with major European exhibitions in Basel, Zurich, and Wolfsburg, this publication stands as one of the most comprehensive and ambitious presentations of Prince’s career.
Long out-of-print and impossible to find with original slipcase.
