"Richard Prince's work is deeply analytical, attuned to semiotics, cultural signifiers and coded visual language, yet alert to the aesthetic seduction of the images he appropriates."
"Prince could be described as someone brought up through cinema and television, drawing on advertising, film, popular culture and consumer America."
"The exhibition includes seminal series such as Fashion, Gangs and Cowboys, alongside sculpture, painting, collage and autobiographical imagery."
"Questions of authorship and authenticity emerge in the introductory room through Magic Castle, a slide projection combining Prince's own photographs with dia slides of postcards he collected."
