Artist Richard Prince’s latest exhibition has made hundreds of thousands of dollars but the photographers whose images he took will receive nothing.<\/p><\/div>\n

Via The Independent<\/a>:<\/p>\n

An Instagram user whose photograph was reproduced without permission by controversial artist Richard Prince and subsequently sold for more than $90,000 has said she\u2019s not going to “go after him” for a share of the money.\u00a0Prince, 65, whose New Portraits exhibition consisting of 37 screenshots of Instagram photos sold out at New York Frieze last week, is known for appropriating found images and treads a fine line between copyright infringement and art.\u00a0\u201cI don’t see any difference now between what I collect and what I make,\u201d Prince has said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He came under fire when his Instagram screenshots were first exhibited last year at the Gagosian gallery in New York, not just because the images were \u201cborrowed\u201d, but because most of them featured beautiful\u00a0women<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in compromising poses including porn stars and a candid selfie in the gynaecologist\u2019s office.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m not gonna go after him,\u201d Doe Deere, one of the women whose photographs Prince used, wrote in a recent Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The blue-haired founder and\u00a0CEO<\/span><\/span>\u00a0of cosmetics company Lime Crime also shared the original photo, explaining that the doll in the picture was made by her friend the artist Joshua David McKenney, who also wasn\u2019t credited in Prince\u2019s work.\u00a0\u201cRichard Prince removed my original caption, before printing and displaying it (without my knowledge) in the Frieze Gallery. I wanted to put the focus back onto where it belongs: the beautiful, hand-crafted doll,\u201d Deere wrote.<\/p>\n

Prince successfully side-steps copyright laws by removing the captions on Instagram photographs he has replicated, replacing them with his own.\u00a0He began using found images long before the internet gave him the opportunity to scroll through thousands of selfless.\u00a0During the 1970s and early 1980s began to re-photograph adverts in magazines, which he described as \u201csocial science fiction,\u201d cropping them, removing text, and grouping them by subject.<\/p>\n

Prince was sued by another artist Patrick Cariou who said he had stolen his photographs. But the artist won an appeal against the litigation in 2013 and the case became just another footnote in the saga of copyright law versus freedom of expression.\u00a0The important collector and gallerist Larry Gagosian – at whose Frieze booth Prince\u2019s work was displayed \u2013\u00a0 is a big champion of the artist and another exhibition of his, Original, is currently on display at his Manhattan gallery until 20 June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
