Ektacolor print mounted to foamcore
1986
Richard Prince's Ektacolor prints mounted to foamcore exemplify his appropriation practice, wherein he rephotographs mass media images and advertising material to interrogate notions of originality and authorship. By isolating and enlarging these found images, Prince transforms commercial source material into fine art objects, challenging the boundaries between high and low culture. The lightweight foamcore support emphasizes the works' contemporary materiality while allowing them to function as both photographs and sculptural presences.
