Ed Ruscha — Etc.; If; South; and Question & Answer
Ed Ruscha

Etc.; If; South; and Question & Answer

A portfolio of four screenprints by the iconic American artist Ed Ruscha, created in 1991 and published by Creative Works Editions in Osaka, Japan. True to Ruscha's celebrated practice of elevating everyday language into art, each print isolates a single word or phrase — *Etc.*, *If*, *South*, and *Question & Answer* — transforming mundane text into visually compelling objects of contemplation. Each work is signed, dated, and numbered 45/50 in pencil, with an additional edition of ten artist's proofs.

Medium
all signed, dated '91' and numbered 45/50 in pencil (there were also 10 artist's proofs), published by Creative Works Editions, Osaka, Japan, all unframed.
