Pinault Visits Prince by Helicopter

March 30, 2011 by Marion Maneker

In conjunction with a show at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris drawing from Richard Prince’s massive collection of pop culture artifacts and a show at Gagosian in Paris, Le Monde visits with the artist in his upstate redoubt of Rensselaerville, NY.

It’s the usual profile of Prince’s duality as man of the people and cultural elitist with scenes of the artist eating burgers at the post office/diner in town. But the best part is this comment by Prince’s friend Bob Rubin on Francois Pinault’s visits to middle America:

“Quand François Pinault vient à Rensselaerville, c’est en hélico”, confie Bob Rubin, citant un des collectionneurs de Prince.

Le Monde also gets a peek inside Prince’s studio and his private museum that contains works by Warhol, Larry Clark, Diane Arbus and, maybe not surprisingly, an Edward Hopper painting:

Autour des voitures, au mur ou au sol, des oeuvres signées Tatiana Trouvé, Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers,Walter Dahn, Martin Kippenberger… Il possède chez lui un tableau d’Edward Hopper.
