Richard Prince's 'New Portraits' Exhibition at Gagosian Gallery in 2014

Richard Prince presented his exhibition 'Richard Prince: New Portraits' at Gagosian Gallery in 2014. The installation was documented by photographer Robert McKeever. This exhibition featured Prince's series of appropriated Instagram images, which became a significant point of discussion regarding copyright and digital culture in contemporary art. The show was announced on October 8, 2014, through artcritical's platform. Prince's work in this series involved rephotographing and enlarging screenshots of Instagram posts, often adding his own comments. These portraits sparked debates about authorship and the value of digital images in the art market. The exhibition highlighted Prince's ongoing exploration of appropriation art, building on his earlier series like the 'Cowboys' and 'Nurse' paintings. Gagosian Gallery, known for representing major contemporary artists, hosted this presentation of Prince's controversial digital-age portraiture.
