ED RUSCHA - VERY - GEORGE CONDO ANDERS KOLD MAR...

With his iconic interpretations of American society  Ed Ruscha (* 1937) stands out as one of
the most prominent figures of 20th century American art. His art is closely associated with
cool and elegant representations of stylized gas stations  Hollywood logos and archetypal
landscapes. Since the beginning of the 1960s no one else has so radically interpreted the
development of modern visual culture in and around L.A. where the artist lives and works.
Deriving his motifs from the perspective of the road  the windshield and the movie screen  his
works give a distinctive sense of the huge  flat city space located in the desert. Featuring
over 50 works from the UBS Art Collection  the exhibition catalogue covers not only the time
from c. 1960 onward  but also the technically and graphically innovative approaches that Ruscha
has made use of over the years  including studies for his most iconic paintings and artist
books. Taking its title from one of Ruscha's word-pictures VERY  the publication includes an
essay written by George Condo and the curator of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's interview
with the artist. Exhibition: 17.5.-19.8.2018  Louisiana Museum of Modern Art  Humlebæk
