Great item on 20x200 today: Greg Allen, “Untitled (300 x 404)” (2010). The item has a great backstory. BUY IT HERE.
In May of last year, internet-y, arty and sharp-thinking Greg responded quickly when Slate was (absurdly) denied the use of Untitled (Cowboy) 2003 by Richard Prince for a slide-show essay on the MoMA exhibition in which the work was featured. Prince’s image was appropriated from a Marlboro campaign photographed by Sam Abell. So, following in Prince’s footsteps, Greg pulled a low-res jpeg off the web, gave it a new title, “Untitled (300 x 404),” and offered it to Slate, as his own work.
