Description
Ed Ruscha and Some Los Angeles Apartments explores the artist's iconic photobooks of 1960s Los Angeles, capturing the city's balance of banality and beauty. Featuring thirty-eight plates from this period, including Twentysix Gasoline Stations, Every Building on the Sunset Strip, and Thirty-four Parking Lots, the book offers a unique insight into Ruscha's work. The publication contextualises Ruscha's photographs within the history of photographic documentation of vernacular architecture, drawing parallels with the work of notable photographers such as Carleton Watkins, Eugene Atget, and Walker Evans. An accompanying essay provides further context on the evolution of Ruscha's thinking about his photographs, tracing their development from functional catalogues to works of art in themselves. This book accompanies an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, offering a unique opportunity for readers to engage with Ruscha's work in a new and thought-provoking way.
