Suicide Girls
"Besties" Large Scale Portrait Print of Two Woman with Tattoos by Suicide Girls

2015

About the Item

"Besties" by the Suicide Girls. Large-scale Giclee print on canvas. Open Edition. Canvas Size: 67 × 55 in 170.2 × 139.7 cm. Offered stretched or unstretched. It can be unstretched and rolled for shipping. In 2015 artist Richard Prince set the art world abuzz with a new series of images he appropriated without consent. This time, Prince gleaned images from Instagram, particularly those generated by the Suicide Girls. Prince's images were exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery in New York and sold out quickly, fetching a hefty price of $90,000 each. The founder of the Suicide Girls, Selena Mooney ("Missy Suicide”), expressed disappointment in Prince's actions, stating that it felt like a violation from someone who didn't understand the value of their art. However, she acknowledged that this incident of 'theft' sparked a long-overdue conversation about appropriation in the art world. In response to Prince's unauthorized use of their imagery, the Suicide Girls released their own version of the images. The prints included a tagline at the bottom that reads "true art," distinguishing it from Prince's appropriated Instagram piracy. These authorized Suicide Girls' prints were available for a limited time as an open edition. Great collector's item!

  • Rory Kurtz - Parasite - Contemporary Cinema Movie Film Posters
    Located in Asheville, NC
    Parasite: “There’s a lot to unpack in Bong Joon Ho's PARASITE. It asks many questions and doesn’t give us comforting answers. For the poster, I wanted to capture that sense of discomfort and unease. A seemingly picture-perfect moment between the happily rich Parks completely oblivious to what’s unfolding around them, and the Kim family relegated to the shadows struggling with their own complex feelings toward such wealth and privilege. It’s a timely film, groundbreaking for a handful of reasons, and difficult to define. My hope is the poster art is just as mesmerizing and ambiguous as the film itself.” - Rory Kurtz...
