original illustration with intervention and paperback book, in artist's frame
Richard Prince appropriates and intervenes upon an original illustration, pairing it with a paperback book and presenting the ensemble within a frame of his own making. This work engages Prince's longstanding interest in questions of authorship, ownership, and the cultural life of images, blurring the boundaries between the found and the authored. The artist's frame itself becomes an active element of the piece, asserting Prince's claim over the assembled objects and implicating the entire presentation as a unified artistic statement.
