Richard Prince: High Times
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Prince: High Times at Gagosian, West 21st Street, New York. It includes reproductions of Prince’s latest paintings alongside his earlier Hippie Drawings, which serve as their main sources. Integrated among these fascinating images are recent essays by the artist; reprints of historical texts by Eve Babitz, Joan Didion, and Kim Gordon; and an essay by Rachel Kushner. Plastic inserts throughout the book house postcards, facsimiles of ephemeral materials related to 1960s culture from the artist’s personal collection, and a 7-inch recording of Prince’s 1985 composition “Loud Song.”
