Suicide Girls (NOT Richard Prince) Sexy Instagram Portrait Giclee Print Aquarius

Description: Listed is a large-scale, limited edition giclee print titled "Aquarius" published in 2015 by the Suicide Girls in response to Richard Prince's exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery, Frieze Art Fair, which appropriated images from their Instagram account. All five in the edition are listed individually. (Let us know if you are interested in the complete set of 5 prints.) In 2015, Richard Prince set the art world abuzz with a new series of images he appropriated without consent. This time, Prince gleaned images from Instagram, particularly those generated by the Suicide Girls. Prince's images were exhibited with the Gagosian Gallery and sold out quickly, fetching a hefty price of $90,000 each. The founder of the Suicide Girls expressed disappointment in Prince's actions, stating that it felt like a violation from someone who didn't understand the value of their art. However, she acknowledged that this incident of 'theft' sparked a long-overdue conversation about appropriation in the art world. In response to Prince's unauthorized use of their imagery, the Suicide Girls released their version of the images. The prints included a tagline at the bottom that reads "true art," distinguishing it from Prince's appropriated Instagram piracy. These authorized Suicide Girls' prints were available for a limited time as an open edition. Each canvas measures 67 x 55 inches. This piece will be rolled and shipped in a tube and offers eBay International Shipping. Please ask any questions before bidding. All Sales Final. Thank you!
