Specialist note

"The pictures I went after... were too good to be true. They were about wishful thinking, public pictures that happen to appear in the advertising sections of mass market magazines, pictures not associated with an author it was their look I was interested in. I wanted to re-present the closest thing to the real thing" (R. Prince, quoted in ‘Spiritual America: No Holds Barred’, Richard Prince, exh. cat., Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1992, p. 85).
