'Bibliothèque d'un Amateur. Richard Prince's Publications' è una pubblicazione-bibliografia di libri e cataloghi d'artista concepiti da Richard Prince dal 1980 al 2020. Il libro è pensato come una biblioteca di titoli schedati con caratteristiche editoriali e stato di usura. Non è un vero e proprio catalogo ragionato, ma piuttosto un invito a sfogliare la biblioteca di un 'amatore' e ci permette di considerare questo importante aspetto del lavoro di Richard Prince, artista che si occupa di libri, della pratica del collezionare e della sua incompletezza, qui rivelata dai 'fantasmi' dei libri mancanti. Richard Prince è un appassionato designer e collezionista di libri; questo zelo e questo fervore traspaiono in molte opere in cui fotografa i libri della sua collezione, trasformando una pubblicazione in una biblioteca infinita. Bibliothèque d'un Amateur è anche il catalogo della mostra 'All books and some prints' al Centre de la Photographie Genève (16 marzo-30 maggio 2021).

'Untitled (band)' 2013 di Richard Prince (Canal Zone, Panama, 1949). La pubblicazione è la raccolta delle immagini del lavoro murale con cui l'artista americano rende omaggio alla galleria che lo ha portato per la prima volta in Italia nel 1988 e con la quale ha avuto fin da allora un rapporto di grande stima e amicizia. Band è un'opera realizzata con una serie di elastici neri che delineano una sorta di costellazione immaginaria; l'artista prende spunto dagli stereotipi di certa arte minimal degli anni '70, per poi divagare ironicamente sul significato del fare arte oggi.

Third generation Corvettes (1968–1982), commonly known as C3s, are among the most plentiful and affordable Corvettes on the road today. Production spanned 15 years with more than 540,000 examples built, making these the most common of any Corvette body style. Unfortunately, many have fallen into disrepair and are in need of restoration. This book will delve into all of the idiosyncrasies of the C3's engine, drivetrain, body, chassis, and interior to guide both first time and experienced restorers to a successful conclusion of their project.

 

The use of heterosexual pornography or soft erotica in collage and assemblage is often all too uncritical, but for a few of the California artists who came of age in the early 1950s, its applications were much more nuanced. For example, Wallace Berman's 1957 'Cross' assemblage features a close-up photograph of heterosexual penetration that affirms sex as a 'factum fidei' ('true fact,' as Berman's inscription went) - its explicitness serving simply as realism. This approach to 'girlie magazine' imagery and its polar opposite - the impulse to decommodify sexuality - can both be found in the photographs, paintings and books of Richard Prince, an artist whose fondness for the era of Berman is well known. She traces these overlaps and sympathies with reproductions of previously unseen works by Berman and new images from Prince's Girlfriends and de Kooning series. Also including an interview with Prince. She is edited by Kristine McKenna, whose ongoing work on Wallace Berman and his contemporaries continues to yield exciting discoveries.

Hemochromatosis - an inherited metabolic iron disorder - is one of modern medicine's greatest oversights. For people with metabolic iron disorders, controlling the intake of iron contributes to wellness and the prevention of such chronic diseases as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Arthritis
• Liver disease
• Impotence
• Depression

The Hemochromatosis Cookbook is written specifically for those who suffer from such iron disorders. It has chapters on all of the traditional categories found in most cookbooks: appetizers, salads, fruits and vegetables, main courses and casseroles, breads and muffins, and desserts.

In addition, The Hemochromatosis Cookbook provides:

• Easy-to-prepare, reasonably priced recipes that impede the body's absorption of iron
• Food values and tips suggesting substitutions for reduced fat, sodium, and sugar
• Helpful menu planning for busy schedules, cooking for company, or cooking for two
• Diet plans for a typical week, including meals that can be prepared ahead of time and frozen
• A shopping checklist with reminders about iron content
• A chart showing the iron contents of common foods and vitamin supplements
• A general explanation of iron imbalances, such as hereditary hemochromatosis, acquired iron overload, and anemia
  

Le persone ritratte da Naomi Harris non sono i perfetti androidi a cui siamo abituati, ma gente normale con una vita sessuale fantasiosa; questo libro esplora un lato meno noto e scarsamente illustrato del sesso in America. È un'edizione limitata di 1000 copie tutte firmate da Naomi Harris e Richard Prince. La capacità di Naomi di mettere le persone a proprio agio è tale che in solo 48 mesi è stata in grado di fotografare 38 feste, attraversando il New Jersey, la California, dai Grandi laghi al Minnesota a Washington, al Texas. Nelle foto troviamo insegnati di multi orgasmo, bisessuali e i Mandingo, un gruppo di afro americani che sono al servizio delle mogli bianche.

Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway
History and Steam Locomotives

Richard E. Prince

Richard E. Prince's long out-of-print encyclopedic study of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, 'The Dixie Line,' with hundreds of vintage photographs, schematics, maps, and rosters.

Railroad buffs, historians, and casual readers alike will be delighted by the reappearance of Richard E. Prince's Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway. It was originally published in 1967, and its reputation as the foremost work on this railroad is still unchallenged.

The NC&StL Railway originated in 1845 as the Nashville and Chattanooga RR. Taken over by the Union Army during the Civil War, it suffered extensive damage from Confederate attack but was rebuilt and operated by the U.S. Military Railroad for over two years. Returned to its owners in September 1865, it became the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Ry. in 1873, after absorbing the Nashville & Northwestern RR.

During the next 25 years, it became known to the public first as the Tennessee Line, then as the Lookout Mountain Route. In 1890 it gained entrance into Atlanta as lessee of the state-owned Western & Atlantic RR. Paducah and Memphis were reached in 1896, when lines of the former Paducah, Tennessee & Alabama RR were leased from L&N. At its zenith in the 1920s, it operated approximately 1,259 miles of track, from the Mississippi and Ohio rivers through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia.

In 1880, to eliminate the threat of competition that was developing between the two companies, the Louisville & Nashville RR acquired control of the NC&StL Ry., much to the dismay of the citizens of Nashville, and for the next 77 years it operated as a prosperous subsidiary of the Old Reliable. It was actually absorbed by the L&N organization in 1957 to become part of the Nashville and W&A divisions. But it will always be remembered by the people of Tennessee and Georgia as the original Dixie Line—the route of such Chicago-Florida passenger trains as the Dixie Flyer, Dixie Limited, Dixie Express, Dixie Mail, Dixieland, Dixie Flagler, and Dixiana.

Maps, schedules, rosters, diagrams, and hundreds of photographs supplement historical information on the company and technical information on the trains.

Richard E. Prince attended Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta. During World War II, he joined the Merchant Marine and sailed on steam Liberty ships. He worked in several capacities for the L&N Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. Prince retired in 1983 and lives in Omaha, Nebraska. He has written ten books on railroads.

America's preeminent conceptual artist Richard Prince follows up fast on the heels of his spectacularly nuanced and blatantly jokey takes on pop culture as we know it: the Marlboro Man in Spiritual America, biker chicks in Girlfriends, and the artist's own sanctum sanctorum in Adult Comedy Action Drama. Now, in perhaps his most accessible artist's book to date (included is an interview with the artist by renowned cult photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark), Prince surveys his life's work, and packs it all into a populist vehicle typifying the steam and virility of late 20th-century American culture-a Prince specialty.
