Edward Ruscha : Catalogue Raisonne of the Paintings: Volume Two: 1971-1982 Hardback

Hardback

Description

The Catalogue Raisonne of Paintings of Ed Ruscha is a six-volume series of books co-published by Steidl and Gagosian Gallery.

This is the second volume, which contains entries on 178 paintings completed between 1971 and 1982 - from the artist's crisis at the onset of the seventies, when he quits painting pictures, to his first major museum retrospective, which opened in March 1982 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

The catalogue includes a comprehensive exhibition history, bibliography and biographical chronology, as well as a preface by the editor Robert Dean, an essay by UCLA film historian Peter Wollen examining Ruscha's use of color as it relates to his use of language, and an essay by the late Reyner Banham.
