For his edition for TEXTE ZUR KUNST, a print of the painting First Point, Phillips has used an image of Lindsay Lohan. The icon of scandalous downfall is shown here at the beach, clutching a surfboard, while her outline is hugged tightly by a wetsuit whose curvaceous geometries segment an arrangement of intensely candy-colored surfaces. Phillips has modified his usual procedure here: Rather than turning to a preexisting image, he produced a film with the actress, also titled First Point, a visual homage to the surf genre. Serving as an independent piece, as which it has also been exhibited, that video now functions as the most expensive of all sources – a work of its own, from which this image, too, derives. Richard Phillips First Point, 2014 Archival pigment print 55.9 x 83.8 cm Edition: 100 + 20 A.P. numbered and signed on the back € 690.- plus shipping.
