Richard Prince — Dude Ranch Nurse
Richard Prince

Dude Ranch Nurse

A provocative appropriation work by Richard Prince, *Dude Ranch Nurse* combines lithographic printing in colors with collaged elements and hand-applied graphite additions on wove paper. The piece draws from Prince's iconic Nurse series, reworking pulp romance novel imagery to explore themes of desire, fantasy, and the boundaries between high and low culture. Executed on the full sheet, the work reflects Prince's signature practice of repurposing and recontextualizing existing visual material to challenge notions of authorship and originality.
