“There’s lots of different things that I do… It really depends on the subject matter. The subject matter sort-of dictates the look of the final thing.” —Richard Prince
Happy Birthday to Richard Prince, born August 6, 1949! One of the most influential and controversial artists of the last several decades, Prince moved from New York City to upstate New York in 1986, just as his infamy grew. In 2007, on the occasion of his acclaimed retrospective Spiritual America at the Guggenheim in New York, Vice produced this mini–documentary. In his signature nonplussed, laconic fashion, Prince talks about his work and life in and around Rensselaerville.
