ABOUT
Richard Prince's artist's book starts with the premise that painter Franz Kline and Irving and Paula Klaw both pursued their "artistic practice" at the same Manhattan address during the fifties; perhaps sharing models, one of which was Bettie Page. Prince juxtaposes appropriated images of Bettie Page alongside those of Kline and his works to set up a frisson between the pin-up legend's limbs/torso and the pioneering Abstract Expressionist's bold calligraphic brushstrokes.
This is the pocket version that was published in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Purple Magazine.
