Text image from Richard Prince's iconic Jokes series - Signed and numbered by the artist in ink on interior of card. - Foil-stamped print, on heavy wove paper, folded // This limited edition mixed media set by Richard Prince, titled The Greeting Card Jokes (Complete Set of 3), is part of his renowned Jokes series. Each piece features handwritten text, mimicking the casual tone of greeting card messages, but with a darkly humorous twist. Prince appropriates the format of everyday language, combining it with an unsettling undertone to challenge conventional social norms. The simplicity of the presentation—text on blank white cards—heightens the contrast between the lighthearted greeting card style and the subversive content. This work reflects Prince's broader exploration of mass culture, humor, and appropriation art.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
