America's preeminent conceptual artist follows up fast on the heels of his spectacularly nuanced and blatantly jokey takes on pop culture as we know it: the Marlboro Man in Spiritual America, biker chicks in Girlfriends, and the artist's own sanctum sanctorum in Adult Comedy Action Drama. Now, in perhaps his most accessible artist's book to date (included is an interview with the artist by renowned cult photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark), Prince surveys his life's work, and packs it all into a populist vehicle typifying the steam and virility of late 20th-century American culture-a Prince specialty.

Larry Clark

from Groninger Museum
A chilling new publication from the artist who brought us Tulsa, Teenage Lust, and Kids. Larry Clark once again focuses on the issue of male youth in contemporary culture, this time using selected video clips rather than film or photo- graphs. Clark leads us on a disturbing but seductive text-free journey via the fresh and yet troubled faces of four teenage boys; one young man describes killing his abusive father, while another recounts an affair with an older woman. However, in this book the actual story is not important. It's the rapid-fire images that matter: no text, no sound, just the lingering images of a moment in time.
