This event has ended.
Specific Object / David Platzker announces the opening of the exhibition Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1971 - 1974.
Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1971 - 1974 is an exploration of works on paper by Richard Prince executed between 1971 and 1974, plus two additional pieces from 1975.
While much of Prince's career post 1980 is well known, what has largely gone unseen have been works executed in the first four years of the 1970s at a time the artist was working out his skills and developing his own unique style. These works reveal Prince to be a skilled draftsman, an adept painter, printmaker, and, moreover, an artist beginning to work with language and texts which would become a hallmark of his production at the end of the 1970s.
Central to Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1971 - 1974 is the presentation of nine works that were previously included in the exhibition Fugitive Artist: The Early Work of Richard Prince, 1974-1977, curated by Michael Lobel, and presented at the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York, in 2007.
