+ OVERVIEW

Richard Prince has been widely praised as one of the most innovative and influential American artist over the past few decades. Prince sublimates popular culture onto an artistic level. Inspired by pulp-fiction-cover nurses from the 1950 to 1960 in U.S., he loves to use the technique of rephotography. He even said: “Re-photography creates a sense of déjà-vu. This type of replication is a play on real objects and images. Through ambiguous artistic scenes that offer verisimilitude, re-photography reflects on the deeper meaning of art, people’s livelihoods, society and life.” As a successful collection, “ALL THE BEST” series was presented in 2000 by using the Hollywood start’s signed autograph.
