Free Thursdays

I went to the Walker tonight for the free Thursdays. The work featured was by Richard Prince. I actually wasn't familiar with his work until tonight. I loved the type pieces or the "joke" paintings. As a typography fan, I was instantly attracted to the pieces. This was the only red joke painting and it was my favorite. I loved the joke and the feelings of standing under a giant wall of red. The detail was was yellow and a collage of old checks.

The joke reads:
"TWO PSYCHIATRISTS, ONE SAYS TO THE OTHER: I WAS HAVING LUNCH WITH MY MOTHER THE OTHER DAY AND I MADE A FREUDIAN SLIP. I MEANT TO SAY, "PLEASE PASS THE BUTTER" AND IT CAME OUT "YOU FUCKING BITCH, YOU RUINED MY LIFE."
