Perfectly beautiful yet strangely faceless, interchangeable fashion models, bare-breasted, long-haired biker chicks posed provocatively on motorcycles ... such incarnations of male fantasies are a feature of many of the works of U.S. artist Richard Prince (born in 1949). He recycles found materials from American popular culture, most often ad images and magazine photos which he rephotographs, repaints or overpaints, arranges in collages or breaks down into fragments, thereby transforming them into works of art. Images of women representing various spheres of trivial culture, icons of advertising like the Marlboro Man, and figures borrowed from chauvinist cartoons are central motifs in his art.
Our Collector’s Edition is also associated with the text-images from Richard Prince’s Jokes. Looking like classic Hallmark cards, three greeting cards each feature a joke handwritten by the artist. Here is the wording of the jokes, which have been chosen so that the laughter quickly ceases when one becomes aware of their meaning: My father was never home, he was always away drinking booze. He saw a sigh saying DRINK CANADA DRY. So he went up there.
Produktinformation Deutsch
Makellos schöne, doch dabei merkwürdig gesichtslose, austauschbare Fashion-Models oder sich barbusig auf Motorrädern räkelnde, langhaarige Rockerbräute – derlei Fleisch gewordene Männerfantasien prangen auf vielen Arbeiten des amerikanischen Künstlers Richard Prince (*1949). Er »recycelt« vorgefundenes Bildmaterial aus der amerikanischen Alltagskultur, zumeist Werbefotos oder Magazinbilder, die er abfotografiert, ab- und übermalt, collagiert oder fragmentiert und so zu Kunstwerken transformiert. Darstellungen von Frauen aus verschiedenen Bereichen der Trivialkultur sind neben Werbemythen wie dem Marlboro-Cowboy oder dem Figurenpersonal chauvinistischer Witzcartoons ein zentrales Motiv seiner Arbeit.
Auf die Jokes-Textbilder von Richard Prince bezieht sich auch unsere Collector’s Edition. In der Anmutung einer klassischen Hallmark-Karte zieren seine drei Grußkarten je ein Witz in der Handschrift des Künstlers. Hier der Wortlaut der Witze, die so gewählt sind, dass einem das Lachen schnell vergeht, wenn man sich ihre Bedeutung vor Augen führt: Mein Vater war nie zuhause, er war immer unterwegs, um zu trinken. Er sah ein Schild DRINK CANADA DRY, also ging er dorthin.
