Richard Prince

Photographer, painter, sculptor, bibliophile, and reinventor of the Marlboro Man, Richard Prince has been appropriating and reinterpreting popular culture for more than two decades. This book uncovers the intellectual and aesthetic sensibility at the heart of Prince's work. An interview by Whitechapel curator Anthony Spira discusses recent and future projects with the artist. Specially commissioned texts by cultural commentator Michael Bracewell, art historian Gilda Williams, Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art curator Dominic Molon, and Whitechapel director Iwona Blazwick provide valuable new insights into the artist's work and bring up to date the rapidly increasing recognition of Prince's pivotal contributions to contemporary art theory and practice. This book accompanies a traveling exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, the Magasin 3 Konsthall Stockholm, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
