Summary:

"Published to accompany the exhibition In Focus: Ed Ruscha, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from April 9 to September 29, 2013, this book focuses on Ruscha's photographic work, specifically the thirty-eight images he made for his 1965 photobook Some Los Angeles Apartments"--Provided by publisher.
"At home in many media, Los Angeles-based contemporary artist Ed Ruscha is known for his paintings, drawings, prints, and artist's books, which have received widespread critical acclaim for more than half a century. Capturing the quintessential Los Angeles experience with its balance of the banal and the beautiful, several of his photobooks of the 1960s catalogue the city's functional architecture with deadpan wit. This publication focuses on the photographs that Ruscha made for his 1965 photobook Some Los Angeles Apartments. Encompassing an area from Malibu to Rosemead and from Van Nuys to Long Beach, the images present midtown high-rises and suburban walk-ups, some with facades bathed in light and framed by the ubiquitous palm trees of Southern California, and others emphasizing the bold, graphic treatment of a building's name or address." -- Back cover
