1997
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1997 ink by Edward Ruscha, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a close-up of light-colored wood grain panels. The wood shows natural swirls and knots, with smooth, straight lines where the planks meet. In the bottom right corner, there’s a tiny black-and-white photo of a building with steps and a sign. The wood looks almost too perfect—like it’s been polished or printed. The artist used a mix of printing methods, including screenprinting, to make this look like real wood. Check out lithography to see how artists use different techniques to create prints like this.
Edward Joseph Ruscha IV (, roo-SHAY; born December 16, 1937) is an American artist associated with the pop art movement.
