The Karpidas Collection

Published in 2022 by Specific Object in a limited edition of 500 copies, this 98-page softcover catalog documents the exhibition at the Karpidas family's private art space in Dallas. The publication features high-quality reproductions of Richard Prince's art from the Karpidas Collection, including his renowned Cowboys, Nurses, and Joke series. Edited by Sara Hignite and designed by Travis LaMothe, the catalog includes essays by Brandon Kennedy, Mark Flood, and Lucia Simek, providing curatorial notes and scholarly context for Prince's exploration of appropriation, identity, and American culture. The exhibition and catalog position the Karpidas holdings within Prince's broader artistic narrative, examining four decades of work that interrogates authorship, originality, and media representation.
