Catalogue Note
“These gunpowder drawings are quintessential examples of Ruscha’s singular manner of seeing as it had matured through the late 1960s… Ruscha’s translation of an abstract idea into a material but imaginary image through a controlled, invisible execution endows these works with a mysterious, uncanny atmosphere.”
