Description
"Anchor in Sand," 1991
Color lithograph on white Rives BFK paper under glass, Paris Review, New York, NY, pub., Hamilton Press, Venice, CA, prntr., the full sheet
Edition 27/100, signed and dated in pencil lower right: Ed Ruscha / '91, numbered in pencil lower left, with the blindstamp for Hamilton Press
21" H x 32" W
Literature: Engberg, 213
Notes: Ed Ruscha is among the most celebrated Los Angeles pop artists. His oeuvre incorporates cheeky text and glorifies seemingly banal imagery, often with a playful perspective inspired by advertising. In the present work, Ruscha employs his clever sense of humor through the juxtaposition of word and image. In the work of art at hand, the typography spelling out 'Made in California' appears as though it has been squeezed out of a ripe, juicy orange. The fruit itself has ready associations with the California lifestyle.
