At least, that's all it appears to have taken for New York artist Richard Prince to make tens of thousands of dollars.

Prince is notorious for creating art that draws heavily on the work of others. In 2013 he was victorious on appeal in a court case after he was sued by another artist, Patrick Cariou, who said Prince had stolen his photographs for use in a show, Art In America reported at the time.
