Summary:

"In 1956, Ed Ruscha drove from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles in a 1950 Ford sedan. That approximately 1,350 mile journey, which roughly followed Route 66 through western Oklahoma, North Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and into the California basin, was seminal in putting Ruscha's career in motion literally ... Many of the themes and motifs that Ruscha has explored over his five-decade career point back to his driving experiences and especially the roadside landscape that he encountered at that formative moment in his life. This catalogue features key works inspired by the artist's love of driving in Los Angeles and the Western United States."--Jacket.
