“At the end of the day, all I was left with was the advertising images, and it became my subject.” Richard Prince, 2005

This chromogenic print by Richard Prince exemplifies his signature practice of appropriating existing commercial and mass-media imagery, recontextualizing it as fine art. The work reflects Prince's longstanding fascination with advertising's seductive power and its pervasive influence on American identity and desire. By lifting and re-presenting these images, Prince challenges notions of authorship, originality, and the blurred boundary between consumer culture and artistic expression.
