Richard Prince: American Prayer Catalogue

Artist Richard Prince is renowned for appropriating icons that capture the American cultural zeitgeist, such as Marlboro cowboys, femme-fatale nurses, and muscle cars. This catalog, published alongside an exhibition of his work at the Bibliotheque nationale de France, Paris, offers a look into his private library and his influences. Discover the rare volumes he collected in addition to his artwork, among them Naked Lunch, Jack Kerouac’s rolled manuscript for Big Sur, and editions of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita in several languages. Text by Robert Rubin, Marie Minssieux-Chamonard, and John McWhinnie.
