Biography
Ed Ruscha
(1937- )
American
Ed Ruscha, although first known as a painter, has also made drawings, prints, films, photographs, and books. He is generally associated with the early 1960s Los Angeles pop movement as it often draws on and documents Western popular culture.1
Ed Ruscha was born in 1937 in Omaha Nebraska and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He moved to Los Angeles in 1956 to attend the Chouinard Art Institute and soon after became connected with the Ferus Gallery group, which also included artists such as Robert Irwin, Edward Moses, Ken Price, and Edward Kienholz.2 Ruscha’s work often documents urban landscapes, which “leave us to question the definitions of the boundaries between ‘documentary’ and ‘conceptual’ art, and the relationship of Pop art to both of them.”3
