Description: Richard Prince - The Catcher in the Rye - First Edition, one of 500 copies. The ultimate appropriationist book (or, “book sculpture”): Prince’s controversial reproduction of the iconic first edition of Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. The front of the dust jacket is identical to the true first edition of Salinger’s classic, except with Prince’s name replacing Salinger’s. (The rear of the dust jacket is blank as in later issues of Catcher). The book names Prince as the author on the title page and lists other works by Prince opposite the title. The copyright page contains the amusing statement: “This is an artwork by Richard Prince. Any similarity to a book is coincidental and not intended by the artist. © Richard Prince”. The text is, of course, that of Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. New York: American Place, 2011. Octavo, original cloth, original dust jacket and is in FINE Condition, See PICS. It’s pretty much perfect! Will wrap in plastic in between cardboard and boxed up nicely for safe PRIORITY shipping.
