Fondation Prada explores stolen images in Milan exhibition

The Fondazione Prada in Milan presents 'L'image volée' (The Stolen Image), running from March 18 to August 28, 2016. The exhibition examines the concept of appropriation in art, featuring works that challenge notions of originality and authorship. Among the referenced pieces is Marcel Duchamp's suggestion to use a Rembrandt painting as an ironing board, and Martin Kippenberger's purchase of a gray monochrome by Gerhard Richter, which he turned into a coffee table before reselling it. The show includes works by various artists who have engaged with the idea of stealing or repurposing images, curated to provoke reflection on the boundaries between creation and theft in contemporary art.
