Richard Prince Smells Bad

Richard Prince created quite a stir with his recent exhibition. Prince created a series of images that consisted of Instagram screenshots. Comprised mostly female "selfies" in somewhat suggestive poses, the images have slight alterations to what look like comments. These were printed large and displayed at Gagosian and Frieze.

Photographers have every right to be upset over this, but everyone seems to have ignored the bigger issue - the work is bad. Yes, Appropriation art is a thing. But why does Shepard Fairey get a pass on the Obama "Hope" Poster? What makes Jeff Koons different? Didn't Duchamp already do this with the toilet? What was so great about Andy Warhol's soup can prints?

Prince is recycling easy, overdone concept art. And when people get upset, they're playing right into the concept.

My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography. I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a tremendously deep passion for photography that I want to share with you on YouTube.

The Art of Photography is my channel and I produce photography videos to provide a 360 degree look into the world of making images. We all want to get better so lets do this together!

I make videos covering famous photographers, photography techniques, composition, the history of photography and much more.

I also have a strong community of photographers who watch the show and we frequently do social media challenges for photographers to submit their own work. I feature the best and most interesting on the show when we do these so come check it out and get involved!

So come check it out! If you’re a fan of DigitalRev, Fro Knows Photo (Jared Polin), Matt Grainger (That Nikon Guy) or Tony Northrup - you’ll love The Art of Photography. I make video’s giving you a deeper dive into photography techniques, composition and history to compliment the other channels you love to watch.
