Richard Prince’s Wayward Nurse (Crashed), 2006-2010, sold for $4,562,500 at the Contemporary Art Part I sale, 12 May 2011, New York. Prince’s attraction to the nurse is manifold and somewhat of a paradox. He once explained in an interview, “I’m painting nurses. I like their hats. Their aprons. Their shoes. My mother was a nurse. My sister was a nurse. My grandmother and two cousins were nurses. I collect ‘nurse’ books. Paperbacks. You can’t miss them. They’re all over the airport. I like the words ‘nurse,’ ‘nurses,’ ‘nursing.’ I’m recovering” (Interview with R. Prince, “Like a Beautiful Scar on Your Head,” Modern Painters 15, no. 3, Autumn 2002). Ever the avid collector and cultural curator, these ‘nurse’ books became the inspiration for his Nurse paintings. Based on the 1953 Norman Bligh novel whose spoiler reads: “A private nurse learns the naked truth about men!”, Wayward Nurse¸ painted between 2006 and 2010, is arguably the most visually striking and important work from this series. Painted in vivid reds set against bright white it screams of macabre violence and unadulterated sex — the viewer finds themselves transfixed (and shocked) by the sheer visual splendor of the canvas. Prince’s color choice and brushwork is so vibrant and evocative that it is impossible not to imagine her attending to the victims of Warhol’s Red Car Crash.
