"1, 2, 3, 4" is a collection of works by Richard Prince, a leading figure in contemporary American art. Since the 1970s, Prince has consistently drawn attention for his method of appropriation through citation and reconstruction of American popular culture. This work is a compilation of the "1-2-3-4" series, which he has been working on intermittently since 2008, and is consistent with his unique perspective of classifying and arranging photographs in groups of one, two, three, and four people according to the number of people. The snapshot-like images are anonymous yet somehow intimate, giving the impression of a worldview that is connected to pop culture and social media. Through the simple framework of numbers, the sense of distance between the people, the staging, and even the social context emerge, highlighting the visual rhythm and ingenuity of the composition. The book also includes Prince's own text about his memories of Woodstock, intersecting his personal memories and the world of his work. The book is published by Fulton Ryder, which he presides over.
