Early photography 1977-87 - Richard Prince

This book was published on the occasion of three exhibitions by Richard Prince at Gagosian—Early Photography, 1977–87 at the Grosvenor Hill and West 21st Street galleries in London and New York, respectively, and The Entertainers at the Davies Street gallery in London. The presentations featured many of Prince’s iconic cowboy, girlfriend, and advertisement photographs, as well as the complete series of The Entertainers (1982–83), a rarely seen set of manipulated photographs that evoke the adult entertainment theaters prevalent in New York’s Times Square in the early 1980s. Writings by the artist and source material from his time working in the tear-sheet department at Time magazine are also included.
