Ruscha, Edward (Ed) 1937 Ohama Various Small Fires. Some Los Angeles Apartments. Every Building on the Sunset Strip. Nine Swimming Pools and a broken glass. Records. Colored People und Graphic Works by Edward Ruscha. 1964 - 1978 6 Künstlerbücher mit Softcover Einband und fotographischen Illustrationen von Ed Ruscha, eines davon als Leporello sowie ''Das Graphische Werk von Ed Ruscha'', Auckland City Art Gallery 1978 Ca. 18 x 14 cm und 23 x 19 cm Jeweils im Impressum bezeichnet. ''Nachdem er zunächst erwogen hatte, als Grafiker zu arbeiten, entwickelte Ed Ruscha bald eine große Leidenschaft für die Malerei und das Fotografieren. Als Reaktion auf die amerikanische Fotografie der 1940er und 1950er Jahre entwickelte er einen neuen, konzeptuellen Stil, der in den sechzehn zwischen 1963 und 1978 entstandenen Fotobüchern Ausdruck findet. Die unprätentiösen, kleinen Bücher, die von Ruscha stets in einer limitierten Auflage herausgegeben wurden, griffen mit ihren Titeln in lakonischer Weise dem gesamten Inhalt vor, so z.B Various Small Fires and Milk (1964) Some Los Angeles Apartments (1965) Every Building on the Sunset Strip (1966) sowie Nine Swimmingpools and a Broken Glass (1968). Sie zeigen wie Ruscha mit den Traditionen des Genres brach. Hierbei dominierte anstelle der nach formalen und inhaltlichen Kriterien gestalteten Bildfolgen die serielle Reihung. Die Vernachlässigung von klassischen Konventionen des Fotografierens, den Anforderungen an Perspektive und Komposition, wurden zum Charakteristikum seiner fotografischen Ästhetik. Ruscha kartografierte mit der in den Serien vorherrschenden Monotonie und Wiederholung das redundante Erscheinungsbild von Orten und Städten der US-amerikanischen Westküste''.
