Published in an edition of 1,000 copies, Naked Nurses extends Prince's engagement with the nurse as cultural archetype by appropriating vintage erotic photographs and pulp imagery. The book functions as both artwork and source material reference, revealing the found images Prince transformed in his celebrated Nurse Paintings of the early 2000s. The publication bridges his photographic appropriation practice and his later painting series, demonstrating how vernacular erotica becomes high art through recontextualization.
