I Have Not Forgotten
2007
Ed Ruscha's characteristic blend of text and image appears in this 2007 four-color lithograph, where his signature approach to language as visual element continues to evolve decades into his career. Part of a limited edition of 35, the work demonstrates the artist's mastery of printmaking techniques that have made his graphic works highly sought after by institutions and collectors alike. The piece was acquired from Posner Fine Art in Los Angeles, reflecting the continued market presence of Ruscha's works in his adopted city.

Artists in conversation
John Baldessari
American · b. 1931
Baldessari similarly merged text and image in conceptually driven works rooted in the Los Angeles art scene, using language as a primary visual and intellectual element in paintings and prints with deadpan, ironic sensibility.
Lawrence Weiner
American · b. 1942
Weiner built an entire practice around language as image, presenting words in bold typographic arrangements that question meaning and context, directly paralleling Ruscha's treatment of text as both poetic and visual subject matter.
Bruce Nauman
American · b. 1941
Nauman shares Ruscha's conceptual use of language across multiple media including neon, print, and photography, treating words as loaded visual objects that carry psychological and cultural weight beyond their literal definitions.
