Ed Ruscha
‚Mountain Prints‘

Geneva

Gagosian Gallery Geneva currently presents an Ed Ruscha exhibition with the artist’s most iconic series on display. Entitled Mountain Prints, it showcases his eponymous series.

It is in the 1970s’ that Ed Ruscha began- along with Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer- to use entire sentences in his works. Often random, always playful, these statements became his trademark. At the Mountain Prints exhibition, they occupy the forefront. „Jet Baby“, „Sponge Puddle“ or „secs. hrs. wks. most. yrs“ are written on Ruscha’s Mountain imagery.

Hollywood imagery is indeed a constant theme approached by the American artist throughout his overall corpus. A corpus that will soon be celebrated at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco with an exclusive Ed Ruscha retrospective entitled Ed Ruscha and the Great American West.
