About The Work
The image is from Prince’s Untitled (Couple) series of the late 1970s, but was not produced until 2006. The edition is signed, and lettered from a to z.
Prince’s work acts as a revival of the image through photography–rephotographed reproduced photographs–after the impasses of conceptualism. Prince’s work relates to images appearing in illustrated magazines, advertising, and television during the artist’s formative years: critic Michael Newman argues that the vintage TV series The Twilight Zone is crucial to understanding Prince’s use of images in his work. During the 1960s, structuralism recast the image as text; Prince’s Couples series revived the image in such a way that it is irreducible to text.
