View in a Room

Offset lithograph in colors with DVD sticker. Published by Downtown for Democracy, New York. Signed and dated to lower right ‘R Prince 2018’.

18 & Stormy by Richard Prince, created in 2018, is an offset lithograph in colors featuring a digitally blurred female face, composed as a soft-focus composite. Measuring 33 x 26 3/8 inches, the work reflects Prince’s signature approach to appropriation and cultural critique. The title—along with the added “DVD” sticker—suggests a nod to adult entertainment, raising questions about identity, media manipulation, and public perception. Blending digital imagery with conceptual irony, Prince presents a figure who appears familiar yet anonymous, simultaneously seductive and fabricated. The piece is part of an edition of 100 published by Downtown for Democracy.

Richard Prince (USA, 1949) is a pioneering contemporary artist known for his provocative appropriation art. By rephotographing advertisements, altering pop culture imagery, and exploring themes of authorship, identity, and consumerism, Prince challenges notions of originality and artistic ownership. His controversial works are pivotal in the discourse on modern art.

Offset Print

Offset PrintOffset lithography is a printing technique where the inked image is first transferred (offset) from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. This method combines the lithographic process, which relies on the repulsion of water and oil, to keep non-printing areas ink-free by attracting a water-based film. Offset lithography was originally developed to reduce costs in reproducing artwork and is widely used for high-volume printing due to its efficiency and ability to produce sharp, consistent images.

My studio is the only place I feel good in. There, I'm fearless; outside, I'm a mess.
- Richard Prince

Renowned for his use of appropriated imagery, Richard Prince is a painter and photographer whose works often reimagine existing photographs and media in an attempt to encourage the viewer to look at them from a different perspective – his Cowboy series features several ‘rephotographs’ (a photograph of a photograph) of the original Marlboro cigarette adverts that featured a lone cowboy; in choosing such an iconic subject, Prince hopes to strip it of context and simultaneously celebrate and expose it as a false construct. Asides from his ‘rephotography’, Prince has also created an extensive body of ‘joke paintings’ - the jokes are usually simple and rely on a punchline, one such example being “I never had a penny to my name, so I changed my name.” Prince was in inspired by the work of Jackson Pollock from an early age, noting that he was drawn to someone who was “fairly antisocial, kind of a loner, someone who was noncollaborative” - he was also inspired by the painting techniques of Willem de Kooning.

What is East Village Art?

In 1981, Patti Astor opened the first art gallery in New York City's East Village, helping to launch the careers of various artists and musicians. The gallery started small but quickly gained popularity, contributing to the emergence of art movements such as Neo-Expressionism and Street Art in the area. The East Village became a hub for these new artistic expressions. However, the gallery closed in 1985 due to waning interest.
