For one day this summer, New Yorkers took a break from their sun-soaked pools to come together at Karma, a two-storey antiquarian bookstore in the East Hamptons, Long Island, which played host to an impromptu yard sale from the muscle car-loving conceptual artist, Richard Prince. Held under the aegis of Prince’s art publishing house, Fulton Ryder, the one-off curiosities were “a combination of objects that Richard no longer wanted," says the company’s director Fabiola Alondra, "from a leather jacket to movie posters and couple of artworks that were fucked up." Photographer Kava Gorna––a regular for
The New York Times, i-D and Vogue––was there to capture the goings-on, where bargain-hunters could pick up anything from tomes on Memphis Group design, vintage editions from the artist's collection of erotica, as well as cans of his Pop-infused soft drink, Richard Prince's Lemon Fizz. The brainchild of Brendan Dugan, a long-time collaborator of multimedia artist Dan Colen, Karma follows the success of Dugan’s eponymous West Village bookstore-cum-gallery. "Dan was out in Long Island, and we said 'Let's just find a little space out there and do a project,'" explains Dugan. "So I was walking down the street in Amagansett––a sleepy, quiet part of Long Island, and we happened across this great old building. And that was that."
