Protest Paintings
Skarstedt
· 2015
· Hardcover. Sealed
Published for the 2015 Skarstedt Gallery exhibition, this 168-page fully illustrated catalog is the first publication devoted to Prince's Protest Paintings series created between 1989-1995. Painted on vertical canvases shaped like protest placards, the works alternate between monochromatic minimalism and richly layered colorful abstraction. The paintings incorporate printed and handwritten jokes and silkscreened pattern details, exemplifying Prince's appropriation practice. Accompanied by Prince's essay 'Half-Mast,' an extract from his memoirs 'Tell Me Everything,' the catalog documents this important transitional body of work.
