A quintessential example of Ed Ruscha's playful engagement with language and unconventional materials, this screenprint presents the word "Mews" in bold, stark lettering against the page. Part of a series exploring rhyming words, Ruscha employed an extraordinary palette of organic substances — bolognese sauce, black currant-pie filling, cherry-pie filling, and raw egg — in place of traditional inks. The result is a work that blurs the boundaries between food, art, and text, challenging assumptions about permanence, medium, and meaning.
