Widely regarded as one of the most provocative figures in contemporary art, Prince has continually challenged ideas of authorship, originality, and cultural ownership, redefining how images circulate and acquire meaning in modern visual culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book accompanies a landmark exhibition at Museo Jumex, the first major survey of the artist’s work presented in Latin America. The exhibition title echoes a joke Prince has returned to throughout his career—originally attributed to Milton Berle: “I went to my psychiatrist. He said, ‘Tell me everything.’ Now he’s doing my act.” Like the joke itself, Prince’s work operates through repetition, appropriation, and reinvention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe volume explores two foundational threads in Prince’s practice: his pioneering “rephotography” of appropriated advertising imagery and his works based on jokes and cartoons. These themes unfold through in-depth presentations of his celebrated Cowboys and Jokes series, revealing how Prince has reshaped the visual language of popular culture for more than forty years. Alongside these bodies of work, the publication examines other key series that probe fiction, masculinity, and the mythology of American identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eEugenio Lopez Alonso, \u003cspan\u003epresident of Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eKit Hammonds, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChief Curator at Museo Jumex in Mexico City.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 240 pages | 200 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e October 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9780847877577\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e30.5 x 23.5\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Museo Jumex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308491514234,"sku":"9780847877577","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/richard-prince-upstate-uptown-9780847877577-1260083539.avif?v=1790446060","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/richard-prince-upstate-uptown","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
