An interesting man, the 'appropriation artist'
Richard Prince. He uses other people's output -- their images or words -- and turns it into some pricey artwork. He makes things up, in more ways than one. Richard Prince may not even be his real name and he almost certainly did not spend the first fifteen years of his life in a wardrobe (although I know a man who did...).
Here's the Mancrazy bag from his Monogram Joke Collection for Louis Vuitton. It's only £1,450 -- don't all rush at once.
