Richard Prince (b. 1949) is a key figure in the US's so-called Picture Generation. He rephotographs glossy magazine advertisements with sofas, photo models, biker girls – or the American man, as the cigarette brand Marlboro has defined him: Here tightly cropped by Prince's camera, held together with tape, open to new interpretation.
