Richard Prince created the art practice of 'appropriation'. Regarded as one of the main players/actors of The Picture Generation he took pictures of pictures and declared them artworks of their own. With motorbike cowboys and vinyl nurses as subject, Prince plays with stereotypes and superstages them as cult of popular mainstream culture. And when cliché and sexism collide, Gianni and Donatella are not afar.

Posing Without Pants, Epilogue

1. Georg Baselitz Spekulatius, 1965
2. Georg Baselitz The Big Night Down The Drain (Die Große Nacht Im Eimer), 1962–63
3. Georg Baselitz Untitled (Remix), 2007

Since the Penis Revolution has confronted us with the very reality of manhood, we are asked to question our own relationship towards what is hidden or revealed between our legs. If the decision was to be made by Georg Baselitz alone, the answer is straight-forward instead of upside down: Embrace. Comrprise. Grab. In other news, Baselitz would wear chaps.

2. Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2012
3. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2001
4. Versus Fall/Winter 2012

Wafting circumspectly from lace to lacing. Trying to figure out its (sexual) appeal. An attempt of explanation: closure that reveals, skin remains uncovered. It cannot be coincidence lacing is preferably being placed on women's cleavage and men's crotch.
