New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2004. Hardcover. VG- (Ex-gallery, with few stamps & marks, label residue on spine, pages lightly tanned at edges, a nice book.). Slate-gray stamped cloth, 260 pp., many BW & color illus. Issued in conjunction with 2004-2005 exhibitions featuring the drawings of American artist Ed Ruscha (b. 1937). With foreword by Adam D. Weinberg and essays by Margit Rowell and Cornelia Butler. An interesting selection of pieces. ontents as follows: Foreword / Adam D. Weinberg -- Cotton puffs, Q-tips, smoke and mirrors : the drawings of Ed Ruscha / Margit Rowell -- Information man / Cornelia Butler -- Plates.Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) is among the most popular American artists working today. His evocations of commonplace subjects have earned him a reputation as a Pop artist, while his interest in language and typography has aligned him with Conceptual art. This book, published to accompany Ruscha's first museum retrospective of drawings, showcases his singular vision and his wide range of highly personal mediums and techniques-from pastels and gunpowder to blood, coffee, and tobacco stains. Ruscha's work includes paintings, photographs, prints, books, and films, but his unique works on paper are perhaps his richest vein. Through his interpretations of cultural icons and vernacular subjects such as the Hollywood sign, trademarks, and gas stations, as well as his renderings of words and phrases in countless stylistic variations, Ruscha proposes a modern landscape based on keen observation and wry humor. "Gunpowder, tobacco, coffee, rose petals, lettuce and blood are just a few of the unorthodox materials used by California-based artist Ed Ruscha, whose work is featured in this sumptuously produced monograph of drawings. Produced in conjunction with a career retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, this catalog features over 200 reproductions of the artist's sly and meticulously rendered drawings of stock phrases from pop culture (e.g. "Hollywood Calif," "Babycakes," "20th Century Fox"). The drawings are accompanied by two rather disjointed essays by exhibit curator Rowell and MoCA LA curator Butler. Rowell's essay focuses on the artist's working process, explaining that one reason Ruscha drew with gunpowder was because it was an easier medium to manipulate than graphite. She also points out some salient links between the artist's drawings and his interest in photography. Butler takes a more conceptual approach, examining the content of Ruscha's drawings and his working materials through a theoretical and thematic lens. While both essays offer welcome insights into the work of a highly mercurial artist, Rowell's reliance on stiff art historical jargon and Butler's disorganized presentation make for dense reading. Part of their difficulty may be that the drawings themselves, with their sparklingly light irony and deft, masterly touch, have strange, otherworldly resonances that are difficult to pin down with words. Ultimately, it's the strength of the work itself that makes this book a must-have for any Ruscha fan."--Publisher's Weekly review.

New York, NY, Abrams, Göttingen : Steidl, 259 S. Mit zahlr. auch farb. Abb. - Originalleinen. Tadellos erhaltenes Exemplar - ENGLISCH - Enigmatic paintings, drawings, and photographic books of gasoline stations, apartment buildings, palm trees, and vacant lots have made Ed Ruscha (born 1937) one of America's most important and influential contemporary artists. The first museum retrospective of Ruscha's drawings highlights his genius for the wry and deadpan juxtaposition of words and objects. Featuring some 90 drawings from the past four decades, the exhibition includes examples made with conventional drawing materials, such as graphite and pastel, and unorthodox materials, such as gunpowder, vegetables juices, and tobacco stains, to name just a few. The title of the exhibition, Cotton Puffs, Q-Tips®, Smoke and Mirrors, is a quote from Ruscha and refers to his drawing tools (cotton puffs and Q-tips) and secondly to his illusory effects (smoke and mirrors). Ruscha casts a critical eye on the shifting emblems of American popular culture in the form of classic Hollywood logos and stylized gas stations. He also embraces language as the very subject of his work. In a variety of scripts and styles?from Gothic to longhand, from ribbonlike lettering to words that seem poured rather than printed?Ruscha gives words physical voice. Beautifully rendered with meticulous precision, his art is one of subtle wit and calculated understatement. ISBN 3882439653Kunst [Ruscha, Edward] 2004.
