Landmark artist’s book that reproduces nearly 600 of Ed Ruscha’s iconic “word” artworks. Featuring single words and short phrases — such as “Great,” “Mud,” “Trust,” and the title piece — set against atmospheric backgrounds, the thick, brick-like volume presents these works without narrative or commentary. Arranged by the artist, the book becomes a visual novel of subtle irony, cultural commentary, and poetic resonance, capturing Ruscha’s distinctive blend of Pop Art, conceptualism, and Hollywood-influenced Los Angeles cool.
