The Museum of Modern Art - Oxford, UK November 3, 2001 - January 13, 2002
The Museum of Modern Art Oxford presents the UK's first major retrospective of American artist Ed Ruscha, in an exhibition organised with the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. The exhibition comprises a wide range of Ruscha's paintings from early -pop' works such as Annie and Boss through to recent highly acclaimed -mountain' paintings and metro plots, and also offers visitors a rare opportunity to see a selection of drawings and all of his books, including Twenty-six Gasoline Stations (1963). Considered both a pop and
a conceptual artist, Los Angeles based Ed Ruscha has resisted such convenient
labels for his work, but has always been a pioneer in the use of language
and imagery drawn from the popular media. From his early, powerful word
paintings, to his influential artist books of the 1960s and 70s, through
to his recent, colourful views of generic mountains, Ruscha has investigated
the spaces between highways and journeys, image and words, abstraction
and representation, public imagery and the contemporary landscape.
