Beginning around 2008, Prince began sequencing found photographic portraits into a simple headcount--one person, two people, three people, four people: 1-2-3-4. This process, applied to musicians, actors, celebrities and anonymous individuals, transforms photographs into performing acts: solo artist, duo, trio, quartet. The numbers 1-2-3-4 act like the count-in to a punk\/garage rock song (by The Rascals, The Modern Lovers or The Ramones), an archetypical pop-song time signature. Numbering the images gives the sequence an immediate stamp of action, while the appropriation of jersey numbers makes a sport of it. Prince has repeatedly returned to the 1-2-3-4 device, including his long-deleted Instagram handle, @richardprince1234. In a chapter of his autobiographical memoirs \u003ci\u003eIt's a Free Concert\u003c\/i\u003e, Prince recalls attending the 1969 Woodstock Festival: \"We could hear Country Joe and the Fish coming in from over the fields...'And it's one two three what are we fighting for? \/ Don't ask me I don't give a damn \/ Next stop is Vietnam \/ Whoopee we're all gonna die.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.8 x 9.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45806559854789,"sku":"9798985236842","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/43pG9epJcj9798985236842.webp?v=1770919011","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/richard-prince-1-2-3-4-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
