Wen Out For Cigrets N Never Came Back

2017

This bronze sculpture translates Ruscha's signature text-based conceptual work into three-dimensional form, transforming his characteristic misspelled vernacular phrase into a tactile object with hand-applied patina. The piece exemplifies the artist's continued exploration of American colloquialisms and domestic narratives while marking a notable expansion from his renowned paintings and prints into sculptural media.
