A catalogue of Ruscha's recent exhibition at the Lannan Museum in Florida, this collection of 100 color illustrations and two essays focuses on the pop artist's murals in the Miami-Dade Public Library. Like the works that founded Ruscha's career in the '60s, the major rotunda library mural consists of paintings of single wordshere in panels that together form a quote from Shakespeare. As if it weren't enough to display this simple, banal painting once, half the book is devoted to repeated depictions of the same words on different backgrounds and to drawings related to the mural. The catalogue's brighter side surveys Ruscha's paintings over the years, which mostly portray icons of American pop culture like the Hollywood sign and corporate logos as well as familiar shapes rendered in black and white. Brief essays by Clearwater, Lannan Museum director, on the mural work, and by Knight, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner art critic, on Ruscha's career, do little to enliven the images or lend them significance. Only students of current art and Ruscha's fans will find this catalogue interesting while others may consider it an insult to the eye. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This third volume of the catalogue raisonné of Ed Ruscha's works on paper documents more than 1,000 works created between 1998 and 2018 The third volume of this extraordinary catalogue raisonné project compiles the unique works on paper that celebrated American artist Edward Ruscha (b. 1937) made between 1998 and 2018. There are 1,068 works documented, hundreds of which have rarely, or never, been exhibited or published. Drawing is the mode in which Ruscha is most prolific, poetic, and experimental. In this period, he further developed some of his iconic subjects, among them film titles, gasoline stations, mountains, and of course words and phrases. He also expanded into new thematic territory in palindrome drawings, map-like representations, and "swiped word" works that incisively reflect the contemporary moment. Included are pencil, dry pigment, pastel, and acrylic drawings on paper, board, and assorted unconventional supports; collages and photo-based works; and sketches and studies for various contemporaneous paintings, commissions, and miscellaneous projects. Each work is catalogued with a beautiful color reproduction, collection details, full chronological provenance, exhibition history, and bibliographic references.
