Untitled (Tire Planter)

The Tire Planter series 'stays fixed in our imagination, as a specific account of a white, middle-class, suburban way of pleasure and destruction, made by someone who knows that way intimately, knows why its terrible, knows why it's irresistibly wonderful, and knows what we can conclude about art, about America and about a self that has to live with both - from the fact that it exists at all.'
(J. Lewis, 'Outside World', in Richard Prince, exh. cat., Whitney Museum of American Art, New York 1992, p. 77).
