Ruscha, who is wary\n of labels, refused to be categorized as a pop artist,\n and indeed, his work reaches beyond that classification.\n He has been considered a \"West Coast\"\n artist, and although Los Angeles is undeniably a\n source of inspiration for his work, the themes he\n addresses are far-reaching and universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis first monograph on Ruscha's work looks with\n discernment and insightful detail at the prolific and\n many-faceted career of an artist whom one could\n describe as pop, conceptual, or surrealist; a painter\n as well as a print-, book-, and filmmaker. The\n thematic and loosely chronological structure of the\n book brings to light the diversity of Ruscha's work,\n while at the same time underlining the continuity and\n recurrence of themes and ideas within his ever\n surprising and prolific career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard D. Marshall\n is an independent curator and critic who, during his\n twenty-year tenure as curator at the Whitney\n Museum of American Art, worked extensively with\n Ed Ruscha. He is the author of Edward Ruscha: Los\n Angeles Apartments, and has published many books\n and exhibition catalogues on artists Jean-Michel\n Basquiat, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Louise\n Bourgeois, among others. In 2002 he curated the\n exhibition \"Edward Ruscha: Made in Los Angeles\"\n at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53496958419286,"sku":"9780714845487-V","price":16.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780714845487_1.jpg?v=1778174763","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/d-marshall-richard-ed-ruscha-9780714845487","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
