Another thought I just had. The original artists of Richard Prince's pieces were understandably upset because it looked like he was profiting unfairly off of their artistic effort--a reasonable assumption, and something that happens all too often with art shared online. But the truth is actually worse. He didn't profit off of their art, didn't make money because of the quality of their photos. It could have been any photo. It could have been a frame from one of those rotating E-Mail .gifs from the '90s. It doesn't matter, because the only thing Richard Price was ever selling was his own celebrity. The image is merely the frame in which it was hung. |
