Richard Prince
Same Man

November 17, 2022–May 7, 2023
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark
louisiana.dk

Richard Prince is a perceptive chronicler of American subcultures and vernaculars and their role in the construction of American identity. In his paintings, he probes the depths of racism, sexism, and psychosis in mainstream humor; the mythical status of cowboys, bikers, customized cars, and celebrities; and the push-pull allure of pulp fiction and soft porn, producing such unlikely icons as the Nurse paintings. Prince manages to identify and sample visual codes and finely tune them so that they become seductive and strange despite their banality. This exhibition—part of the Louisiana on Paper series, which focuses on drawings—also includes a number of important paintings, photographs, and sculptures encompassing many different bodies of work from throughout Prince’s career.

The 80s
Art of the Eighties

October 17, 2021–February 13, 2022
Albertina Modern, Vienna
www.albertina.at

Some consider the 1980s to be the most important decade for the art of our age. For the first time, art was no longer determined by a dominant style, such as abstraction or Pop, but rather embodied an unprecedented stylistic pluralism that was a hallmark of postmodernism. This exhibition, curated by Albertina Modern director Angela Stief, examines the variety of artistic approaches and strategies that defined the era. Work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Albert Oehlen, Richard Prince, Andy Warhol, and Franz West is included.
