Lot Essay

"It's almost as if in this culture information touches a chord in us the same way a hit song makes you impulsively keep a beat with everybody else--because you know you're not the only one who thinks the song is great." (R. Prince, quoted in J. Rian, ‘Social Science Fiction: An Interview with Richard Prince,’ Art in America, Vol. 75, No. 3, March 1987, p. 88).

“I don’t see any difference now between what I collect and what I make. It’s become the same.” (R. Prince, quoted in K. Rosenberg interview, “Artist: Richard Prince,” New York Magazine, 2 May 2005)
