description

Special edition supplement to issue 18 of the photographic periodical Purple Magazine by Richard Prince. "This book has been made by Richard Prince to celebrate Purple's 20th birthday. It's a litany of rhetorical questions and visual statements, composed of two elements. First, from fragments of texts that Richard Prince called 'Bird Talk.' The second element is collages, made from celebrity headshots and promotional materials for films and albums collected by Richard Prince." -- From the introduction.
