THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW: Edward Ruscha papers and art collection opens

January 19, 2016 - Anne Kofmehl

Ed Ruscha (American, b. 1937), Ed Ruscha making a sandwich to be photographed for his book On the Road: An Artist Book of the Classic Novel by Jack Kerouac, ca. 2008 or 2009. Color transparency, 4 x 5.6 cm. © Ed Ruscha. For Ruscha’s most recent book project, published in 2009, he created an illustrated version of Jack Kerouac’s seminal beat novel On the Road. The complete text of the novel is reproduced alongside photographs Ruscha made or selected from other sources. Several boxes of material document the process from conception to publication, and include contact sheets, negatives, and transparencies for all the images from the book that Ruscha made himself (including this sandwich), as well as a few that didn’t make the cut.

Visitors to the Ransom Center may now experience the creative work and process of artist Edward Ruscha first hand. The materials in the Edward Ruscha papers and art collection, which opens today, cover a selection of works from the 1960s to the present, and include research material, notebooks, sketches, photographic material, publicity and exhibition material, and final editions for Ruscha’s artist’s books, prints, films, and commissioned works.
