Interior includes lots by Robert Gober, Félix González-Torres, Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Richard Prince, Ugo Rondinone, Frank Stella, Christopher Wool, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrince’s Kool-Aid image belongs to the early rephotographic work that moved advertising, product graphics, and commercial desire into the space of conceptual photography. Prince has described removing brand information from images of consumer goods during this 1982–84 period; by 2005, that same logic had returned as the face of an auction catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue was first produced as a market instrument: a guide to lots, estimates, images, and provenance. In this form, it no longer simply documents a sale. It records the passage of images through auction, ownership, discount circulation, cutting, retention, and renewed placement. Its meaning changes through placement, retention, and renewed circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo verified source was found crediting Meyer Vaisman as collaborator on the Kool-Aid cover image.
