With his iconic interpretations of American society, Ed Ruscha (*1937) stands out as one of the most prominent figures of 20th century American art. His art is closely associated with cool and elegant representations of stylized gas stations, Hollywood logos and archetypal landscapes. Since the beginning of the 1960s no one else has so radically interpreted the development of modern visual culture in and around L.A. where the artist lives and works. Deriving his motifs from the perspective of the road, the windshield and the movie screen, his works give a distinctive sense of the huge, flat city space located in the desert.0Featuring over 50 works from the UBS Art Collection, the exhibition catalogue covers not only the time from c. 1960 onward, but also the technically and graphically innovative approaches that Ruscha has made use of over the years, including studies for his most iconic paintings and artist books. Taking its title from one of Ruscha's "word-pictures" VERY, the publication includes an essay written by George Condo and the curator of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's interview with the artist. Exhibition: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark (17.5.-19.8.2018) / KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes, Bergen, Norway (14.9.-16.12.2018). Ed Ruscha's 1973 gunpowder drawing, "Year After Year," is reproduced from Very, Hatje Cantz's beautifully produced collection of 50 works on paper from the renowned UBS Art Collection—published to accompany the show currently on view at the Louisiana Museum, Denmark. Hats off to the publishers for their presentation of fellow artist George Condo's sorta wild, highly insightful three-part text on Ruscha, which reads in part: "in his own private laboratory he could develop new formulas to bring the world art they had never experienced before..he used materials unheard of as his alchemical process emerged from gunpowder to grape juice..he found words as strange in combination with other words as his materials were to the standard kit of oil paint .yet the fascinating and ingenious part was all of us knew the words they were not ones you had to look up in the oxford dictionary..they were so obvious that they could be sitting right next to you and you would never have noticed them,,like a brother or sister."

Connue pour la richesse narrative de ses peintures et de ses dessins, et plus récemment de ses sculptures, Dana Schutz est l'une des artistes majeures de notre époque. Elle livre une vision personnelle d'un monde inquiétant et incertain. Les scènes qu'elle peint, souvent avec humour, sont profondément ancrées dans l'histoire de l'art. Elles sont baignées dans une atmosphère post-apocalyptique, reflet noir de notre univers contemporain.
