Black Bra: Richard Prince

Richard Prince – Black Bra
Karma, New York, 2016 | Edition of 200 | Out of Print

Black Bra is a rare, minimalist artist’s zine by Richard Prince, published in 2016 by Karma, New York in an ultra-limited edition of just 200 copies. Presented in a staple-bound 11 x 8.5-inch format with only 14 pages, the publication distills Prince’s signature themes—appropriation, desire, and media distortion—into a stripped-down, intimate form.

Featuring a series of grainy, cropped, and recontextualized images of women in black bras, the zine plays with notions of voyeurism, repetition, and cultural fetishization. Each page is both seductive and confrontational, embodying Prince's ongoing investigation of pulp aesthetics and subversive image-making.

Now out of print and increasingly scarce on the secondary market, Black Bra is a sought-after collectible that bridges the gap between artist’s book, zine culture, and conceptual publishing.
