A painter, printmaker, and filmmaker, Edward Ruscha was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1937. He moved to Oklahoma in 1956 where he studied at the Choinard Art Institute. Ruscha was associated with the Ferus Gallery group, which also included Ed Moses, Robert Irwin, Ken Price and Ed Kienholz and was influenced by the ironic irreverence of the Pop Art movement, in particular Jasper Johns.
During the 1960s, Ruscha created a series of mass-produced, cheaply printed photographic books cataloguing the various kinds of banal roadside sites one might encounter on a typical drive through the American West, such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1962), Some Los Angeles Apartments (1966), and Nine Swimming Pools and a Broken Glass (1968)…

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon |
