The book holds installation views, reproductions from the \u003cem\u003eNew Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e series, and Prince’s ‘Bird Talk’ text in Japanese and English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book made after the feed had already been enlarged, printed, exhibited, argued over, and returned to print. Instagram appears here not as platform but as support. The portrait is no longer a post, not exactly a painting, not simply a reproduction. It has passed through several systems of authorisation and arrives as a bound object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe acrylic covers extend the logic of display. Transparent, reflective, protective, and slightly industrial, they make the catalogue behave closer to a case file or portable vitrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin Prince’s longer practice of appropriation, joke transfer, advertising extraction, and re-captioned American image culture, \u003cem\u003eNew Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e marks the point where social media becomes both source and surface. Authorship is not removed; it is displaced, commented on, enlarged, litigated, and reissued. The catalogue remains as residue of that passage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal period publication.\u003cbr\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blum \u0026 Poe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425817813330,"sku":"RP-NP-BP-2016","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Prince_-Richard.-New-Portraits.-2016-cover.jpg?v=1778690133","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/richard-prince-new-portraits-blum-poe-2016","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
