For the first time in over 20 years, LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) is exhibiting a “comprehensive, cross-media retrospective” of artist Ed Ruscha.
"ED RUSCHA/NOW THEN", the "first major retrospective of Ed Ruscha in over two decades", offers more than just an exhibition; it is an immersive journey through American modernism. A must-visit at LACMA for art enthusiasts and critics alike, it explores Ruscha's significant impact on contemporary art and culture.
Key pieces like the "Chocolate Room," showcased first at the 1970 Venice Biennale, and his ongoing street documentation project, provide insightful commentary on urban evolution and American culture.
Ruscha's work captures the evolving American landscape through a unique mix of visual and verbal language, reflecting his whimsical yet reflective style.
