Ektacolor photographs, in 4 parts

Richard Prince's *Ektacolor Photographs, in 4 Parts* is a multi-panel work that reflects the artist's longstanding engagement with appropriation and the recontextualization of existing images. By presenting photographs in a structured, four-part arrangement, Prince challenges notions of authorship, originality, and the commodification of imagery drawn from mass media and popular culture. The work exemplifies his practice of reframing borrowed visuals to expose the constructed nature of identity, desire, and American mythology.
