Ed Ruscha: Eilshemius and Me

Summary

Commemorating an exhibition at Gagosian, London, this catalog is the first publication to examine the connections between these two artists work. Two booklets in a softcover portfolio feature full-color plates and installation views. An interview with Ruscha and an essay by Margaret Iversen explain how Ruscha first encountered Eilshemius s enigmatic paintings, which of the artist s aesthetic innovations captured Ruscha s imagination, and how his own work relates to and differs from that of the Neglected Marvel Eilshemius.
