What Can You Do?
2001
Richard Prince's *What Can You Do?* is a bold acrylic on canvas work that exemplifies the artist's ongoing interrogation of appropriation, consumer culture, and the construction of American identity. Characterized by his signature use of text and image, Prince challenges the boundaries between originality and reproduction, inviting viewers to question the nature of authorship and meaning. The painting operates within Prince's broader practice of recontextualizing familiar visual and linguistic tropes to expose the underlying tensions of desire, humor, and cultural mythology.
