Ed Ruscha — Tropical Fish Series
Ed Ruscha

Tropical Fish Series

Ed Ruscha's *Tropical Fish Series* is a suite of prints published by the celebrated Gemini G.E.L. workshop in Los Angeles, reflecting the artist's signature blend of deadpan wit and bold graphic sensibility. Each print is individually signed, dated, and numbered in pencil on the reverse, with editions ranging across limited runs accompanied by a small number of artist's proofs. The Gemini G.E.L. inkstamp on the reverse of each work underscores the prestigious collaborative printmaking tradition through which Ruscha brought his distinctive Pop-inflected vision to life.

Medium
All signed, dated and numbered 50/56, 55/57, 39/53, 51/58, and 6/55 respectively in pencil on the reverse (there were also 10 or 11 artist’s proofs for each), published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles (with their inkstamp on the reverse), all framed.
