Ed Ruscha - Böcker

Commemorating an exhibition at Gagosian, London, this catalog is the first publication to examine the connections between these two artists work. Two booklets in a softcover portfolio feature full-color plates and installation views. An interview with Ruscha and an essay by Margaret Iversen explain how Ruscha first encountered Eilshemius s enigmatic paintings, which of the artist s aesthetic innovations captured Ruscha s imagination, and how his own work relates to and differs from that of the Neglected Marvel Eilshemius.

In the hands of Rogers and Ruscha, the humble lemon is transformed into the ultimate kitchen hero. Packed with fifty inventive recipes, the book casts the lemon as the star of sweet and savory dishes alike. Whether you are whipping up a creamy risotto al limone, baking a showstopping lemon tart, or brightening a salad with a burst of citrus, Rogers s signature style makes every recipe, from appetizers to mains, approachable and unforgettable. Elevating this journey is the singular artistry of Ed Ruscha, whose images, created specifically for this project, transform this book into a visual delight. Ruscha s style is both visually accessible and intellectually layered and invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in the very ordinary and mundane. Known for documenting a single subject in intensive detail, a Ruscha book is an instant collectible.

Co-published by OHWOW and The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Los Angeles, this 192-page hardcover book is a visual examination of moments in and out of frame, expanding the exhibition’s narrative and documenting the fresh and unconventional films, videos, photography, painting, drawings, and sculpture presented in the exhibition. The book also includes film stills and photographs not included in the exhibition. An introductory essay by author and art theorist Francisco J. Ricardo, PhD. , outlines the background to Rebel, explaining the impetus for Franco’s inquiry and his artistic motivations, from conception through execution. REBEL features the work of James Franco, Douglas Gordon, Harmony Korine, Damon Mccarthy, Paul Mccarthy, Terry Richardson, Ed Ruscha, and Aaron Young.
