Ed Ruscha

Ed Ruscha is an American artist, born in Omaha and raised in Oklahoma City, who moved to Los Angeles in 1956 and made the city his subject. His paintings of single words and phrases, petrol stations and the Hollywood sign, and his deadpan photobooks such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations, are landmarks of Pop and Conceptual art. Standard Station of 1963 is one of his best-known images. Tate and National Galleries of Scotland share a large group of his works through ARTIST ROOMS.
