Richard Prince: Bettie Kline

Richard Prince's artist's book, juxtaposing appropriated images of Bettie Page with paintings and drawings by Franz Kline. The premise for this artistic mash-up is that Kline, the expressionist painter, and Irving and Paula Klaw, the pin-up photographers, both had studios in the same building in 1950s New York and that Kline, smitten with the Klaw's most famous subject, used Page as a model for his pen and ink studies. Unpaginated [61 pages]; b&w and color illustrations throughout; 11.25 x 14.25 inches.
