Here's your chance to see the inspiration behind the nurses featured in Marc Jacobs' spring/summer 2008 catwalk collection for Louis Vuitton. Richard Prince, the American artist whose sexy pulp fiction nurses wearing medical masks were appropriated by Jacobs in an all-supermodel line-up last year, has curated an exhibition, Richard Prince:
Continuation, at London's Serpentine Gallery. His first major exhibition in a UK gallery, the artist's selection features highlights from his 30-year career, including the photo of the Marlboro-esque cowboy riding through the desert (Untitled (Cowboy), 1989), a 1987 Buick Grand National car decorated with a photo of a topless biker girl (Covering Hannah, 1987), along with the paintings of the famous nurses.
A programme of classic films, ranging from drama to cult shorts, has also been selected by the artist for open-air 50-foot screenings by the Serpentine. Marc Jacobs, whose next artistic collaboration is with New York-based artist KAWS on a pair of shoes due out next September, was at the opening party, as were Claudia Schiffer, Lily Cole, and Charlotte Casiraghi.
