Emma Davies Photo School – May 2022
Inspired by Ed Ruscha
Sixteen bootleg tapes by The Fall.
American artist Ed Ruscha is associated with the rise of the Pop art movement and conceptual art. Ruscha has worked in different mediums, including painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, and film. Between 1963 and 1978, Ruscha produced sixteen photography books, many of which were presented in a reduced and simple form, emphasising the artistic idea and concept.
Books with titles like Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1963) or Thirtyfour Parking Lots (1967) that once sold for a few dollars are now coveted artworks.
