 * 12 years later, class=C makes sense for the photography project, and a different class=start makes no sense for the biography project, I'll update the latter. –84.46.53.128 (talk) 07:53, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Copying
The article could use an expansion on the subject of his photographs of other photographs. The NYT recently covered it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/arts/design/06prin.html?_r=1&oref=slogin 65.9.148.67 (talk) 14:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

NPOV and other Comments
Whilst this article is easy to read and helps the reader get an insight into Prince's work, I am concerned that it is not really showing a NPOV. Taking one small section on the "Girlfriend" series of photographs as an example: By photographing images that have already been photographed, that already in [sic] exist, Prince brings them closer to real life. He is infusing them with more reality than they ever had.

Surely a NPOV would amend this to say something along the lines of: By photographing images that have already been photographed, that already exist, some commentators suggest that Prince brings them closer to real life. It has been argued that he is infusing them with more reality than they ever had.

You would obviously then have to cite references to these suggestions and arguments, something that is noticeably absent from the current version.

Of rather more concern to me is the claim that the Nurse paintings were inspired by the covers of trashy novels. Apart from being factually incorrect it reads here as original research. The complete absence of references tends to support this view.

I note that the article is rated as "Start" class, but it has been that way for over a year now. It would be nice if this promising start could be edited to bring it up to the higher standard the subject deserves. 81.159.101.33 (talk) 05:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Updated 11 years later, he is still (ab)using photos (Richard Prince's appropriated images), he is still roaming, and this BLP should certainly explain why that is so from a strictly legal PoV, but the page now made it from start to C with a shot of at the begin of #Work for all its sub-sections on my say-so. –84.46.53.128 (talk) 08:20, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Sonic Nurse.jpg
The image Image:Sonic Nurse.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The image used in an article about a photographer who lifts from other people's work, is lifted from someone else's work. It's like rain on your wedding day (a free ride that you've already paid). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.12.236.156 (talk) 16:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Bob Dylan
Anyone brave enough to write about the work Bob Dylan and Richard Prince do together?

"... both of Mr. Dylan's shows at Gagosian are actually the work of Richard Prince using "Bob Dylan" as a pseudonym, making the ultimate statement on art and artifice ..."

Rephotography vs rephotography
This article defines rephotography in one way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Prince#Rephotography whereas the rephotography page is about something different altogether. There has to be a way to perhaps fix this.. Any ideas? Centerone (talk) 15:23, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
