Richard Prince's graphite on paper works demonstrate his characteristic engagement with appropriation and image-making, often featuring gestural marks and textual elements that reference popular culture and mass media. Working primarily in the medium of graphite allows Prince to create works with an intimate, sketch-like quality that contrasts with his more monumental photographic and text-based pieces. These drawings exemplify his broader artistic practice of questioning authorship, originality, and the nature of representation in contemporary visual culture.
