Gagosian Booth @ Art Basel 2025. Curation by Francesco Bonami — Gagosian Booth @ Art Basel 2025. Curation by Francesco Bonami. Center in the back: Richard Prince’s appropriation of Patrick Cariou’s photographs

Scandalous curatorial practice by Francesco Bonami.
Bonami’s approval of Richard Prince’s appropriation of Patrick Cariou’s photographs. This work by Prince has been hidden on Gagosian’s official websites at every media one can imagine: Instagram, Facebook, X, Art Basel website and the GAGOSIAN’s website. Also Bonami does not show Prince’s work on his IG account.
There was no explanatory text or data close to Prince’s work at the booth.
