Ed Ruscha Cotton Tote for LACMA
$35.00
Member Price$31.50
Ed Ruscha has consistently held up a mirror to American society by transforming some of its defining attributes—from consumer culture and popular entertainment to the ever-changing urban landscape—into the very subject of his art. In 1956, Ruscha left Oklahoma City to study commercial art in Los Angeles, where he drew inspiration from the city’s architectural landscape—parking lots, urban streets, and apartment buildings—and colloquial language.
As his first comprehensive, cross-media retrospective in over 20 years, ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN traces Ruscha’s methods and familiar subjects throughout his career and underscores the many remarkable contributions he has made well beyond the boundaries of the art world. The exhibition includes his early works produced while traveling through Europe, his installations—such as the Chocolate Room and the Course of Empire presented at the Venice Biennale in 1970 and 2005, respectively—and his ceaseless photographic documentation of the streets of Los Angeles beginning in 1965.
Artist Ed Ruscha’s 1974 artwork PEOPLE GETTING READY TO DO THINGS has been reproduced on this cotton tote bag with the LACMA logo on the back.
The bag has two handles and measures 16.5h x 16.5w x 3.7”d.
The tote is printed here in Los Angeles.
