«Ed Ruscha: Course of Empire» is the National Gallery London catalogue with texts by Christopher Riopelle, Tom McCarthy and Daniel F. Herrmann, in hardback.
The catalogue traces Ed Ruscha's «Course of Empire» series: five black-and-white views of Los Angeles from 1992, alongside the same locations in colour a decade later. The series is set against Thomas Cole's cycle from the 1830s and the changes in the American urban landscape: petrol stations, highways and commercial signs.
It was published on 14 August 2018 and has 48 pages; the exhibition was held at the National Gallery, London, from 11 June to 7 October 2018.
A book for those interested in contemporary art, in the work of Ed Ruscha and in the dialogue between history painting and the urban landscape.
