Richard Prince, a kinda-sorta-not-really famous artist known for appropriating photographs held an exhibit at the Gagosia Gallery recently, where he displayed and sold pictures taken from Instagram users (without their knowledge or permission, because of course) for upwards of $90,000 a pop. Keep in mind, this guy has been stealing other peoples' work and passing it off as his for the past 40 years, yet since "heheh, it's art!" is somehow a valid court defense, he is unable to really be sued over it despite people attempting it in the past.

 

Because this is what art has become. The definition of the term has become so diluted and watered down by ***holes who want to call themselves creative, that it has literally become extended to theft (then again, a guy can literally smear his feces on a canvas, call it art, and have it sell for an obscene amount of money). Incidentally, I think it's hilarious that his name is "D*** Prince".

Prince's response to some of the criticism he's received:

 

Prince apparently also doesn't know what irony is:

Idiocy triggers me, and hearing this little bit of news triggered me pretty hard.

[Fidite Nemini]

Wasn't directed at you.

 

But anyway, if he can't be sued, then there's nothing to be done about it. I find it however quite interesting that in the US, where you can and will be sued for literally everything, you can't get to him for theft as blatant as it goes.

What traumatic experience did this Richard idiot suffer as a child to make him into such a moronic ass? Did he have an intimate encounter with a Catholic Priest or something? The guy clearly has something stuck up his ass!

This guy makes me look bad.

Who is the idiot, the "artist" or the idiots who buy his "art"?

Yes.

let the dickheads buy his **** that they could have easily found on instagram and blown up themselves. Maybe they'll blow all their money, go homeless and die lonely and cold. I like to think they are

[Inquisitor Recon]

Good thing I can't do art.

I've had experience with people who steal other people's work. They are some of the worst people as they keep trying to weasel out every friggin' situation. Chances are that's not even his real name.

I think it nearly is and will soon become a zombie site like myspace (which is still around).

Hey he's a genius

 

The real idiots are the one shelling out $100,000 a shitty instagram picture.
