Group of artist's books (11); and Picturing Ed: Jerry McMillan’s Photographs of Ed Ruscha, 1958-1972 (1)
Ed Ruscha's *Group of Artist's Books (11); and Picturing Ed: Jerry McMillan's Photographs of Ed Ruscha, 1958–1972 (1)* presents a collection of the artist's celebrated self-published books alongside a photographic record of his early career. Known for their deadpan imagery and democratic approach to art publishing, Ruscha's artist books challenged traditional notions of the art object by presenting mundane subjects — parking lots, gas stations, swimming pools — in a matter-of-fact, vernacular style. Together with McMillan's intimate photographs, the grouping offers a rare glimpse into the formative years of one of the most influential figures in West Coast conceptual and pop art.
