4X4, published in 1997 by Korinsha Press, is a distinct and highly collectible artist book by the acclaimed American conceptual artist Richard Prince. This volume functions as a compelling visual record of Prince’s continuous fascination with subverting American pop culture, counterculture, and consumer iconography, gathering various threads of his iconic photographic series. The content seamlessly blends his raw, re-photographed imagery of customized hot rods, muscle cars, painted flames, subcultural signifiers, and rural landscapes with his hallmark text jokes and handwritten shopping lists overlaid onto the pages. By documenting this complex landscape of Americana, mass media, and vernacular aesthetics, this beautifully produced Japanese publication provides a structured historical chronicle of Prince's appropriation techniques and his profound influence on contemporary postmodern art.
