Richard Prince is one of six contemporary artists invited to explore the Guggenheim’s collection as a curator of the exhibition Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection. He says, “When you go to something as vast as the Guggenheim’s collection is, you start to see patterns.” When preparing for his presentation, Four Paintings Looking Right, Prince discovered a surprising number of commonalities among paintings made between the 1940s and early 1960s, many created by lesser-known Abstract Expressionist artists.
