Folded, distributed, handled and easily discarded, the object was never intended to behave like a conventional rare book. Its survival is therefore part of its meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstitutional records fix its position within the series: De Appel records it as Point d’Ironie 39: Richard Prince, Avril 2006, published by Agnès b. in Paris, with Hans Ulrich Obrist as editor; MACBA also records no. 39 as a 2006 serial publication by Richard Prince. These references matter less as citations than as placement. They confirm that a temporary printed object has entered the same systems of identification, cataloguing and retention usually reserved for more stable works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrince’s images of rural America, biker culture and found vernacular material are not only reproduced here; they are carried by the publication itself as a folded support. The value is not only in rarity as scarcity. It is in survival, recognition, and the fact that this copy remains in the form in which it first moved through the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition.
