Richard Prince Revisits Counterculture with 'Posters' at Hetzler | Marfa | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
Briefly

Richard Prince's solo exhibition, Posters, showcases a decade of work from 2014 to 2024, focusing on vintage poster ads from 1960s and '70s counterculture magazines. By reworking these once ephemeral images, Prince transforms them into monumental art pieces that provoke thought about image culture's role in shaping perceptions of rebellion and identity. His technique involves manipulating layouts and placing contrasting visuals together, creating a chaotic but meaningful dialogue between past and present. This exhibition transcends mere nostalgia, urging viewers to reflect on collective memory and cultural influences.
