Richard Prince<br />

In 2005, a Richard Prince photograph of a Marlboro cigarettes advertisement<br />

was auctioned for over $1.2 million - a world record. He photographed the<br />

Marlboro ad without permission removing the identifying marks. In a 1977<br />

essay, Prince proclaimed that he was "practicing without a license" – referring<br />

to his practice of stealing other people's pictures and publishing them as his<br />

own.
