With Hippie Drawings, Prince steps away from the appropriated imagery that defined his early career. The loose, expressive drawings depicting embrace a naïve, Neo-Expressionist sensibility, echoing the spontaneity of his own children’s sketches and how he thought a hippie would draw. Prince began working on these in 1988 and originally set to have them exhibited. Instead, however, he decided to publish the series. This first edition hard cover is limited to 3,000 copies.
