Overview
Ed Ruscha: Tom Sawyer Paintings documents the 2022 exhibition of ten new paintings and a new hologram at Gagosian Paris. The exhibition brought together naturalistic paintings of simple wooden slats, which at once represent a new direction in Ruscha’s work and extend his long-standing interest in realism, modernist abstraction, and the American vernacular.
The catalogue includes plate photography of the ten paintings and one hologram as well as installation views of the exhibition.
Ed Ruscha was born in 1937 in Omaha, Nebraska and lives and works in Los Angeles. A career-spanning retrospective, ED RUSCHA/NOW THEN, will open at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in September 2023 and travel to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in April 2024.
Since 1993, Gagosian has presented twenty-five major exhibitions of Ruscha’s work in the United States and Europe.
New, illustrated essays by Mark Godfrey and Ralph Rugoff, offering critical and historical contexts for the work, are included in this bilingual English and French catalogue.
