RICHARD PRINCE: GIRLFRIENDS
(PRINCE, RICHARD). Prince, Richard. Rotterdam, THE NETHERLANDS: Museum Boymans-van Beunigen, 1993. First Edition 1/1500. Small 4to. Pictorial Self-Wrappers. Artist's Book. Fine. np (56pp), 54 color illustrations. Text in English and Dutch. This is the gritty catalogue cum artist's book published in conjunction with a 1993 exhibition of Richard Prince's "Girlfriends" body of work held at Rotterdam's Museum Boymans-van Beunigen. "Girlfriends" finds the artist in full "image scavenger" mode, rephotographing and appropriating a selection of images from motorcycle magazines of the period - most notably those of "biker chicks" in varying stages of hedonistic abandon. A brand new, most handsome example of this uncommon item (artist's book entry 17 in "Bibliotheque d'un Amateur: Richard Prince's Publications 1981-2012") limited to one thousand, five hundred unnumbered copies. 90-6918-120-7 Inventory Number: 026564
