{"product_id":"richard-prince-1-2-3-4","title":"Richard Prince: 1, 2, 3, 4","description":"Prince's artist book revisits his 1-2-3-4 series cheekily compounding found photographs of various group sizes\n\nThis compilation of works on paper by American appropriation artist Richard Prince (born 1949) belongs to a series titled 1-2-3-4. Beginning around 2008, Prince began sequencing found photographic portraits into a simple headcount—one person, two people, three people, four people: 1-2-3-4. This process, applied to musicians, actors, celebrities and anonymous individuals, transforms photographs into performing acts: solo artist, duo, trio, quartet. The numbers 1-2-3-4 act like the count-in to a punk\/garage rock song (by The Rascals, The Modern Lovers or The Ramones), an archetypical pop-song time signature. Numbering the images gives the sequence an immediate stamp of action, while the appropriation of jersey numbers makes a sport of it. Prince has repeatedly returned to the 1-2-3-4 device, including his long-deleted Instagram handle, @richardprince1234. In a chapter of his autobiographical memoirs It’s a Free Concert, Prince recalls attending the 1969 Woodstock Festival: \"We could hear Country Joe and the Fish coming in from over the fields...‘And it’s one two three what are we fighting for? \/ Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn \/ Next stop is Vietnam \/ Whoopee we’re all gonna die.’\"","brand":"Fulton Ryder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54611133235544,"sku":"9798985236842","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9798985236842_0a141628-0054-41ac-bf9d-29f11c6dc216.jpg?v=1778659270","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/richard-prince-1-2-3-4","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
