The Fug is a rare and visually explosive artist book by Richard Prince, published in 2011 on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Almine Rech Gallery in paris. this limited-edition volume is a chaotic, punk-inflected montage of imagery, collage, rephotographed media, and stream-of-consciousness text—Prince at his most irreverent, self-aware, and subversively funny.
Designed in the spirit of a xeroxed zine but elevated to the status of an art object, the fug pulls from pulp novels, biker magazines, pornography, tabloid trash, and prince’s own mythos to create an overwhelming visual rhythm that challenges ideas of authorship, originality, and cultural memory. it’s not just a book—it’s a visual mind-flood.
