Ed Ruscha and Photography
"Also on on view are Ruscha’s celebrated “conceptual” books. These witty volumes group thematic photographs of banal and everyday things into intriguing arrangements. Thirtyfour Parking Lots and Twentysix Gasoline Stations represent pivotal achievements in Ruscha’s career as well as in the history of American contemporary art. These books and 13 others will be on view in the exhibition."
