News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues: five plates
A portfolio of six screenprints by Ed Ruscha, one of the defining figures of American Pop Art, featuring his iconic typographic approach in which single mundane words become the sole subject of each composition. Published in 1969 by Editions Alecto in London, this edition of 125 exemplifies Ruscha's fascination with the graphic power of language, presenting rhyming, everyday words stripped of narrative context. The works reflect his deadpan wit and his enduring interest in the aesthetics of commercial signage and print culture.
