Description

Ed Ruscha: Catalogue Raisonné of the Books, Prints, and Photographic Editions, 1960–2022 is a three-volume publication dedicated to one of the most important areas of Ruscha’s practice: his work in books, prints, and editioned photography.

Since the early 1960s, Ruscha has played a central role in changing how artists use printed matter. His artist books helped define a new language for conceptual photography and publishing, while his graphic works pushed across a wide range of printmaking techniques. This catalogue brings those projects together in a detailed, carefully organized reference.

Compiled by curator and print scholar Siri Engberg, the catalogue raisonné entries include detailed data, new photography, full-color images of all prints and photographic editions, and a photographic inventory of each artist book’s cover and interior pages. The three volumes separate the material clearly: essays in Volume 1, books in Volume 2, and prints and photographic editions in Volume 3.

The set also includes essays by Engberg and artist book specialist Clive Phillpot, Ruscha’s 1975 text “The Information Man,” a selected bibliography, exhibition history, and photographic visual archives documenting Ruscha’s work with print workshops and collaborators.

Co-published with Gagosian, New York, this clothbound three-volume set offers a substantial reference for collectors, curators, libraries, designers, and anyone interested in Ruscha’s influence on artist books, printmaking, conceptual photography, and contemporary editions.
