Richard Prince - New Paintings
Info
An artist’s book of “social science fiction” presenting new work and writing by Richard Prince
At first glance, the New Paintings are in a similar vein as Prince’s New Portraits
However, unlike that series, the New Paintings focuses on portraits of painters painting on Instagram, very often with back to the camera, facing away from the viewer
The resulting images are ambiguously manipulated; the series is self-described as an act of “social science fiction”
The image captions, integral to the artwork, contain a dense “Bird Talk” text, including ambiguous autobiography and art history commentary
