Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by walterwite on Mar 26, 2024 3:47:07 GMT 1, I missed the initial drop of the Ed Ruscha All Eyez on Me signed ed of 100 vinyl from interscope last year. I have since checked interscopes website weekly to check out the image. in Feb I checked and there was one for sale. I bought it for $2500USD. Then 2 weeks later after label created the next scan was delivery cancelled. I've been emailing back and forth with customer service no one knows whats going on. They have offered a refund but I told them I really want the print. All in all I was very disappointed in that whole situation. Also this new Ed Ruscha print doesn't make me feel any better about it either.

Which of their timed editions haven't been signed? Terrible image, not sure what AA or Ruscha's studio were thinking ๐ We will do some more explaining on the importance of this artwork soon on our website. When I first learned about Ed his work I was probably also more drawn to the mountain works but when you dive really deep into his work and also have seen the show at the Moma you start to realize the importance of some of the early works like OOF and Spam. Anyway anyone is free to have their own opinions of course and should buy what they like/love..

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by from mjolnir on Mar 26, 2024 11:42:41 GMT 1, Artwiki has a good explanation about it
Like other figures in Pop Art, Ruscha monumentalized the common object: he challenged the traditional notions of fine art by painting mundane objects like the mass produced can of spam. Actual Size highlights consumerism and the strong presence of these commodities in popular culture. The contrast between the top and the bottom of the painting highlighted the mechanisms of advertising: the top half shows an oversized and flashy brand name while the bottom that depicts the product in its actual size. The rapid rise of outdoor advertising changed the visual landscapes of American cities in the 1960s, and artists like Ruscha were reacting to these social and cultural shifts. Actual Size can be viewed as a critique of the superficial and shallow nature of American popular culture that often encourages the glorification of junk. However, as is the case with many Pop Artists, Ruschaโs stance toward popular culture is ambiguous. The artist has often commented about his fondness of the artificial and superficial elements of American mass culture. Actual Size also demonstrates this ambiguity: the monumental depiction of the can of spam is humorous and ironic, but at the same time, the choice of subject shows the dominance of commercial imagery in popular culture.
Still, Actual Size is more than just an ironic depiction of advertising and consumer culture imagery. In the painting, the artist deals with fundamental questions of composition and scale. Actual Size invites a comparison between the top and bottom half, and the painting draws the viewer close to canvas since one has to be near the canvas to read the words โactual sizeโ written in pencil. The viewer needs to observe the painting both from close and from afar to fully appreciate all of its elements. Other early paintings like Flash, L.A Times (1963) and Large Trademark with Eight Spotlights (1962) also explored issues of scale and proportion. Therefore, while Ruschaโs early paintings commented on American consumer culture, they also touched upon subjects fundamental to issues of composition and painting.

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by its all about me on Mar 26, 2024 12:45:53 GMT 1, It does make me wonder how the image is decided upon for these print releases. Does the artist insist that only a certain image should be produced in a cheap(ish) edition? Or does the art publisher have more of an influence over these things? And why bring out what I consider to be one of his worst prints ever? Perhaps he doesn't want his best work to end up in a large edition.
I was looking forward to this release. Now I'm feeling quite disappointed.
