The Deposition Of Richard Prince-in The Case Of Cariou V. Prince Et Al

Edited by American artist and blogger Greg Allen, this book contains the published transcript of Richard Prince during the copyright infringement case against him by French photographer Patrick Cariou. Prince, an artist known for his work involving appropriating photographs, or re-photography , was sued for unauthorised use of Cariou s images. In the transcripts, which cover several hours of questions and answers between Prince and the attorneys, he must defend and explain his method of working. This involves an in-depth and candid discussion about his career, life, motivations and so on quite an extraordinary encounter, considering that the artist seldom gives interviews.
