Richard Prince, the (in)famous appropriation artist—and not an infrequent subject of this blog—is once again in the news. This time, it’s not because he’s defending appropriating and repurposing other people’s work as his own, but rather the opposite: Prince, with more than a little ironic wit, recently declared his repurposed Instagram shot of Ivanka Trump to be “fake art,” stating, “[t]his is not my work. I did not make it” and returning the purchase price. In repurposing his own art, Prince may have gone a long way toward answering his critics by demonstrating the transformative power of repurposing a pre-existing work—but can he really disown his own work?
