ISBN: 9780874270808.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Prince emerged in the 1980s as one of Americas new, highly innovative artists who worked with the margins of American subcultures and visual debris. Highly idiosyncratic subject matter - such as one-line jokes, cartoons, cowboys (\"borrowed\" from the Marlboro ads) and motorcycle gangs - are central to his work. In the late 1970s Prince was working for the cutting services of \"Time Life\" publications in New York, and had access to thousands of cut-up magazines of which only the advertisements remained intact. He began to re-photograph the advertisements and compose his own pictures from this highly familiar, \"Pop\" imagery - updating Pop Arts homage to consumerism and its icons in the 1960s. Recently Princes work has taken an unexpected turn, and the artist has emerged as a consummate painter, producing some of the most unusual and admired works in the current painting scene. Prince is one of Americas best-known artists internationally, and in 1992 was honoured with a one-person retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Other museums which have held solo shows of Princes work include the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Kunsthalle Dusseldorf; IVAM, Valencia; and the Haus der Kunst, Munich, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whitney Museum of American Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986617757749,"sku":"ByrdShop_0874270804","price":452.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780874270808_5c82d720-764e-4501-b396-5e82ec73f676.jpg?v=1778938611","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/richard-prince-9780874270808","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
