Richard Prince
Spiritual America
Guggenheim Museum
9/28/07 - 1/9/08

If you head up to New York anytime soon, be sure to check out the Richard Prince retrospective at the Guggenheim. Just when I thought I was tired of pop art (i.e. Koons, Murakami) Richard Prince brought me right back. The show, which covers the last 30 years of Prince's career, was a breath of fresh air in comparison to the heavy Kara Walker retrospective at the Whitney. Prince 'pilfers freely from the vast image bank of popular culture to create works that simultaneously embrace and critique a quintessentially American sensibility'*. find out more at guggenheim.org and be sure to make the trip up there to see it.
