Statement & Biography

Ed Ruscha

Statement:

I don't consider myself a printmaker with a capital P. I like artist with an A.

Biography:

Born in 1937 in Omaha, Nebraska, Edward Ruscha moved to Los Angeles in 1956 to attend the Chouinard Art Institute. He had his first solo exhibition in 1963 at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. Ruscha has consistently combined the cityscape of Los Angeles with vernacular language to communicate a particular urban experience. Encompassing photography, drawing, painting, and artist books, Ruscha's work holds the mirror up to the banality of urban life and give order to the barrage of mass media-fed images and information that confront us daily. The artist has been the subject of numerous museum retrospectives including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1989, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in 2000. In 2001, Ruscha was elected to The American Academy of Arts and Letters as a member of the Department of Art. Ed Ruscha was the United States representative at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005. The artist currently shows with the Gagosian Gallery in New York, Beverly Hills and London. Artist website.
