Fifty years ago
Two nighttime photos from the Selle collection that spell out the tale of fifty years ago. For information on the Selle collection see Two of Us and In this Dark Wood. Related somewhat, here is a short note I wrote about a recent book by Joachim Schmid.
Update on availability of ‘Recounted’
To coincide with the end of Ed Ruscha’s 75th year, Recounted will be taken out of circulation at the end of December. If you want a copy, please order it before that time. Recounted was realized as a part of ABCED, which has since been shown internationally, most recently at Gagosian Gallery, NY and the Museum Brandhorst in Munich, Germany. Recounted also inspired my other Ed Ruscha remake: One Swimming Pool.
