Richard Prince SuicideGirl Prints

Everyone has been asking me what I thought about famous controversial artist Richard Prince taking a series of SuicideGirls instagram posts and printing them out and selling them at a recent gallery show at the Gagosian gallery of beverly hills for $90,000 a piece.

My first thought was I don’t know anyone who can spend $90,000 on anything other than a house. Maybe I know a few people who can spend it on a car. As to the copyright issue? If I had a nickel for every time someone used our images without our permission in a commercial endeavour I’d be able to spend $90,000 on art. I was once really annoyed by Forever 21 selling shirts with our slightly altered images on them, but an Artist?
Richard Prince is an artist and he found the images we and our girls publish on instagram as representative of something worth commenting on, part of the zeitgeist, I guess? Thanks Richard!
I’m just bummed that his art is out of reach for people like me and the people portrayed in the art he is selling.
So we at SuicideGirls are going to sell the exact same prints people payed $90,000 for $90 each.
I hope you love them. Beautiful Art, 99.9% off the original price. ;)
Instagram ART 1
Instagram ART 2
Instagram Art 3
Instagram Art 4
Instagram Art 5

Do we have Mr. Prince’s permission to sell these prints? We have the same permission from him that he had from us. ;)

Urban art publisher Eyes On Walls is supporting the project by fulfilling the large canvas reproductions at cost. We will be donating the profits from sales to EFF.org
