Annandale Galleries are pleased to announce an exhibition of rare graphics by American artist ED RUSCHA, in a medium that is particularly suited to his work and has therefore been an integral part of his oeuvre.
ED RUSCHA is one of the most critically acclaimed, successful and influential artists in America. His work has been exhibited internationally for three decades, he has had retrospectives in major museums the world over and is represented in major museum collections too numerous to mention here. In Australia a major retrospective was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney in 2004.
A painter, printmaker, and filmmaker, Edward Ruscha was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1937, and lived some 15 years in Oklahoma City before moving permanently to Los Angeles where he studied at the Chouinard Art Institute from 1956 through 1960 where he was a contemporary of LARRY BELL. By the early sixties he was well known for his paintings, collages, and printmaking, and for his association with the Ferus Gallery group, which also included artists Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, Edward Moses, Ken Price, and Edward Kienholz. He later achieved recognition for his paintings incorporating words and phrases and for his many photographic books, all influenced by the deadpan irreverence of the Pop Art movement.
This is the first solo exhibition of ED RUSCHA in a commercial gallery in Australia For further press or visuals contact Annandale Galleries
