Ed Ruscha, The Fan and Its Surroundings, from The Global Edition (E. 123), 1982

This striking lithograph by Ed Ruscha exemplifies the artist's masterful exploration of text and image that has defined his practice since the 1960s.  Printed in colors on premium Rives BFK paper, this hand-signed and numbered edition showcases Ruscha's technical precision and conceptual depth. The generous sheet size (36 3/4 x 31 5/8 inches) provides an immersive viewing experience of Ruscha's carefully composed visual language. Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) stands as one of America's most influential contemporary artists, with works held in prestigious collections including the Museum of Modern Art and Tate Modern.  His prints are particularly celebrated for their commentary on American culture and their seamless blend of commercial aesthetics with fine art sensibilities. This lithograph is number 21 from the limited edition of 55, with an additional 5 artist's proofs. It was published by Bernard Jacobson, Ltd., London.  Please contact an advisor for a condition report.
