BIO & STEPS


Born:  
Born 1949 in the Panama Canal Zone (USA)

Nowadays:

Lives and works in Upstate New York

Studies: 
         After finishing high school in 1967, Prince set off for Europe at age 18.
He returned home and attended Nasson College in Maine. He describes his school as without grades or real structure. From Maine he was drawn to New York City. Prince has said that his attraction to New York was instigated by the famous photograph of Franz Kline gazing out the window of his 14th Street studio. Prince described the picture as "a man content to be alone, pursuing the outside world from the sanctum of his studio.

Themes and style: 
         Mining images from mass media, advertising and entertainment since the late seventies, Prince has redefined the concepts of authorship, ownership, and aura. Applying his understanding of the complex transactions of representation to the making of art, he evolved a unique signature filled with echoes of other signatures yet that is unquestionably his own. An avid collector and perceptive chronicler of American subcultures and vernaculars and their role in the construction of American identity, he has probed the depths of racism, sexism, and psychosis in mainstream humor; the mythical status of cowboys, bikers, customized cars, and celebrities; and most recently, the push-pull allure of pulp fiction and soft porn, producing such unlikely icons as the highly coveted Nurse paintings.

Techniques:      
         His work is developed in paintings, installation, sculpture and photography.

In his own words:
“Some people are better at handling the limelight than others. I mean, you take a guy like J.D. Salinger who basically has been off the grid for 30, 40 years—has no use for it, doesn't care about it. And then, of course, it absolutely destroyed someone like Pollock. And, in a strange way, it wasn't so much the media that did it, but just the idea of making it and becoming successful. Look at the rock 'n' rollers-that's a whole other level. You can name so many who died very soon after they had any success, whether it's Jimi Hendrix or Gram Parsons or Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin or Kurt Cobain . . .
