Collection of the artist; courtesy Gladstone Gallery, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced in connection with Prince’s major Guggenheim exhibition \u003cem\u003eSpiritual America\u003c\/em\u003e, the postcard carries one of his recurring American subjects: the car body as object, surface, commodity, and cultural fragment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 2007, Prince’s practice had already moved through photography, jokes, cowboys, nurses, books, cars, and advertising. The Guggenheim exhibition placed those bodies of work inside a major institutional frame, turning a career built from borrowed images and commercial language back into museum history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis postcard belongs to that institutional circulation. It is not an editioned artwork, but a printed museum object issued at the moment of exhibition. The car hood moves from industrial form to sculpture, from sculpture to institutional image, from museum shop object to surviving document. A small object, but exact in its position: Prince, Guggenheim, 2007, and the afterlife of American commodity imagery in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good. Light handling wear, minor surface marks, and faint age toning consistent with museum postcard ephemera.
