It was part of Prince's celebrated book collection that formed the backbone of his first exhibition at Galerie Patrick Seguin - a gallery which focuses mostly on 20th century furniture and architecture. For the artist 'a day in the life of a book collector suggests that the impulses behind collecting are part obsession, part quest and part fantasy.' In this treat for Prince's fans, a new series of sculptural assemblages were presented that were born out of his avid book collecting. Pairing mid-century modern furniture with collectable editions, his own double-sided Publicities, and other printed and literary material, this full-colour edition documents a unified sculpture born out of disparate objects. Also featured in the exhibition was the chair 'Nurse Hat Chair' especially designed by Prince and appropriated from his own iconic Nurse Paintings.
