The Joslyn Exhibitions- Ed Ruscha: Paper

Ed Ruscha: Paper (Sep 10, 2024–Jan 20, 2025) is a temporary exhibition included in free general Museum admission.

Ed Ruscha: Paper includes drawings, prints, and photographs from the artist’s recent gift to the Museum. These works, produced over six decades, feature graphics, typefaces, and letterforms rendered in ink, acrylic, graphite, and gunpowder. The exhibition celebrates Ruscha’s wry use of text and image and his inventive approach to media and technique. Born in Omaha, Ruscha grew up in Oklahoma City, where his family settled in 1941. He moved to Los Angeles in 1956 to pursue a career in commercial art and studied at the Chouinard Art Institute (now California Institute of the Arts).
