Spanning sixty-five years of Ed Ruschas remarkable career and mirroring his own cross-disciplinary approach, Ed Ruscha / Now Then features more than 200 artworks produced from 1958 to the present, in genres including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, artists books, film, and installation.Published to accompany the most comprehensive presentation of the artists work to dateand his first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New Yorkthis richly illustrated catalogue celebrates Ruschas most acclaimed paintings and books alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice. In these pages, an interdisciplinary group of contributors examines Ruschas production under a new light, beyond the categories of Pop and Conceptual art with which he has traditionally been associated, to present fresh perspectives on one of the most influential figures in postwar American art. Taken together, these essays underscore Ruschas singular contributions, including his material exploration of language, his experiments with unconventional mediumssuch as gunpowder, chocolate, and chewing tobaccoand his groundbreaking self-published books. Supplemented by an illustrated chronology, Now Then captures the ceaseless reinvention that has long defined Ruschas prolific art making, now in its seventh decade. 336 pp. plus 3 gatefolds; 374 illus.
