About the Painting:
In a written dialogue between Mr. Prince and a kind of alter ego of his, an artist named John Dogg, Mr. Prince describes how Mr. Dogg” who comes off as a minimalist Neal Cassady” was once employed to deliver special cars to buyers by driving them across the country.
One of his “drive-aways,” from Denver to Los Angeles, was a 1970 Dodge Challenger. “He did it in 16 hours,” Mr. Prince wrote. “The owner wasn’t expecting the car for three weeks.” (For those keeping close score, Ms. Spector’s catalog, with Mr. Prince’s permission, acknowledges publicly for the first time that John Dogg, whose work was exhibited intermittently in the late 1980s, was indeed the creation of Mr. Prince and the New York art dealer Colin de Land, who died in 2003.)
