A collage assembled from the cover of a pulp paperback novel, *Night Club Nurse*, Richard Prince appropriates the lurid, mass-produced imagery of mid-century popular fiction to examine desire, fantasy, and the cultural construction of femininity. The work lifts its source material directly from the vernacular landscape of American consumer culture, recontextualizing the nurse figure — at once erotic and caregiving — as a symbol laden with collective longing and social mythology. Through this act of appropriation, Prince questions notions of authorship, originality, and the seductive power of readymade imagery.
