Love him or hate him, Richard Prince has become as much an object of culture as the images he is transmuting by recontextualizing. Spiritual America, which includes some of his most well known "borrowed images" will be on exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum thei spring.

Nobody takes a good idea and makes it his own like Richard Prince, who has carved his place in contemporary art by recycling, reflecting, and reframing the imagery of others. His unique art of appropriation–from biker culture to car culture, comedians to cowboys, pinups to pulp fiction–redefined the creative process for a generation of artists.
Organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Richard Prince: Spiritual America opens next week in galleries 4, 5, and 6. Tickets for the After Hours preview party on Friday, March 21 are still available.
