Prince's artist book revisits his 1-2-3-4 series cheekily compounding found photographs of various group sizes

This compilation of works on paper by American appropriation artist Richard Prince (born 1949) belongs to a series titled 1-2-3-4. Beginning around 2008, Prince began sequencing found photographic portraits into a simple headcount--one person, two people, three people, four people: 1-2-3-4. This process, applied to musicians, actors, celebrities and anonymous individuals, transforms photographs into performing acts: solo artist, duo, trio, quartet. The numbers 1-2-3-4 act like the count-in to a punk/garage rock song (by The Rascals, The Modern Lovers or The Ramones), an archetypical pop-song time signature. Numbering the images gives the sequence an immediate stamp of action, while the appropriation of jersey numbers makes a sport of it. Prince has repeatedly returned to the 1-2-3-4 device, including his long-deleted Instagram handle, @richardprince1234. In a chapter of his autobiographical memoirs It's a Free Concert, Prince recalls attending the 1969 Woodstock Festival: "We could hear Country Joe and the Fish coming in from over the fields...'And it's one two three what are we fighting for? / Don't ask me I don't give a damn / Next stop is Vietnam / Whoopee we're all gonna die.'"
