This exhibition organised by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York surveys the work done by Ed Ruscha from the late 1950s through to the early 1990s. Born in 1937, Ruscha started out as a painter under the influence of Pop Art. As his work developed, he began trying out different techniques, working in series, making photographs and films, producing photographic books and making virtual paintings by projecting light into empty rooms.
Exhibitions of Ruscha's photo work have been relatively scarce, in spite of its obvious connection to the other areas of his artistic activity, and especially his drawings (the subjects/objects, apartments, cityscapes, composition, use of light and shadow, etc.).
Ed Ruscha represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 2005.
