Richard Prince’s car hoods

My new favorite sculptures are from Richard Prince’s Hoods series. In addition to his rephotography for this series, Prince created molds of car hoods and painted the resulting casts in Rothkoesque colors.
Can something be both a sculpture and a painting? Why not? Who cares? These are sculptures of paintings celebrating their own surface. And car hoods.
