Literature
“And some of us would like to exchange parts with other people, keeping what we already like and jettisoning the things that we can’t stand. Some people would like to try to change places, just for a day, with maybe someone they admired or even envied, to see what it would be like, to see if it would be what they’d always heard it to be.” Richard Prince, 1983
Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The print is hinged at the top two corners verso to the mat and window matted. Only visible under very close inspection and when unframed, there is evidence of very minor dust accumulation and a few, very minor unobtrusive surface scratches. There is a very minor crease to the upper left corner of the margin, only visible underneath the mat. Framed under glass.
