This afternoon I went to the Guggenheim Museum for the final day of its Richard Prince "Spiritual America" retrospective.  Prince is perhaps most famous for his explorations of appropriated imagery, such as Marlboro cowboys, biker mag girlfriends and nurses on the cover of pulps.

The one that really grabbed me, though, was the picture on the left.  The caption on the bottom:  "Leading his own life now?  Are you kidding?  That's not his own life."

Surely it's not possible to be super-effective and yet lose one's sense of self . . .

Thanks for pointing that out! I stripped out a bit of code and now it should work on all browsers. I hope!
