Richard Prince

Description:

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present 'Richard Prince: de Kooning' an exhibition of paintings and works on paper. This coincides with 'Richard Prince: American Prayer" at the Bibliotheque nationale de France, an exhibition of American literature, ephemera and artworks from Prince's personal collection. Prince's 'de Kooning' series is a process of interaction with the canonic imagery of the Abstract Expressionist idol Willem de Kooning. The idea for these edgy Oedipal works came to him when he was leafing through a catalogue of de Kooning's Women series. He started sketching over the paintings, sometimes drawing a man to de Kooning's woman.
