{"product_id":"18135-richard-prince","title":"Richard Prince","description":"\u003cp\u003eFamiliar stock pieces from the American mass media such as the Marlboro cowboys, bare-chested blondes from biker magazines and cartoons with sexist captions taken from the rainbow press - these are the materials the artist Richard Prince likes to \u0026quot;recycle\u0026quot; for his works. These icons of mass culture are then processed - photographed, fragmented and copied down, or their format altered - and transformed into works of art. By appropriating a reality artificially staged by the media, Prince assesses and catalogs everyday life in America with an archivist\u0026#39;s cool gaze. In this way, the artist returns a piece of life to these much abused types; the Marlboro cowboy now rides across the prairie free of all consumerist underpinnings. The concept and design of these large-format artist\u0026#39;s books are by Richard Prince himself. They present the artist\u0026#39;s own, ultimate selection of pieces characteristic of his oeuvre. The two volumes are dedicated to the areas of photography and painting and include full-page reproductions as well as accompanying booklets of commentary.
