Early in his career Prince embarked on the series of works that comprise the UNTITLED (FASHION) SERIES.These photographs continued to build upon his theme of appropriation and authorship and the role in which they play within the context of popular culture, as well as their status within the world of high art. With her hair perfectly placed, eyes gazing ardently off into the distance, the entire scene is charged with sensuality, the present lot is a remarkable example of the series. succinctly and completely capturing the stunning and seductivebeautyof the subject as well as the essence of haute monde.
