News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues

A portfolio of six screenprints by Ed Ruscha, each depicting a single word rendered in his signature deadpan typographic style, exploring the playful sonic relationships between rhyming everyday words. Published in 1970 by Editions Alecto, London, this numbered edition of 125 exemplifies Ruscha's enduring fascination with language as image and the visual power of text stripped of narrative context. Presented in a striking red velvet portfolio, the works remain in excellent condition, retaining their original vibrancy and immediacy.

Medium: all sheets signed, dated '1970' and numbered 102/125 in pencil, also signed, dated and numbered in pencil on the colophon (there were also 25 artist's proofs), published by Editions Alecto (with their stamp and reference number on the reverse), London, the colours fresh and all works in excellent condition, contained in original red velvet portfolio.
