Edward Ruscha Catalogue Raisonné of the Works on Paper: Volume Two, 1977–1997

Volume two of this catalogue raisonné project compiles the more than one thousand unique works on paper that Ed Ruscha made between 1977 and 1997, the artist’s mid-career period, during which he achieved international renown. Highlights include Ruscha’s inimitable word and phrase works, made in organic materials, pastel, or acrylic; compositions featuring signature imagery (windows, ships, silhouetted objects and figures, and film closing credits); and drawings and studies related to important public commissions for the Miami-Dade Public Library, the Denver Central Library, and the Getty Center in Los Angeles. The publication features essays by series editor Lisa Turvey and art historian Gwen L. Allen.
