About The Artwork
Celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2024, Studio Voltaire has invited many major artists to revisit and reimagine some of their previous House of Voltaire releases for our “Greatest Hits”. The recipe featured on this tea towel is for his cactus omelette - a recipe well-loved by Ruscha and made frequently when staying at his desert home in Southeastern California.
About Ed Ruscha
Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) is a highly influential American artist associated with the Pop Art movement. Ruscha is best known for his scenic landscape compositions overlaid with consumerist language and advertising slogans. His works engage with American cultural cliches and the deterioration of visual, verbal, and written language through a wide range of mediums.
Ruscha has shown extensively on an international basis with significant institutions, including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Tate Modern, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Haus der Kunst, Munich; Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid; Museo Tamayo, Mexico City; International Center of Photography, New York City, and Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin. His work is held in a number of high-profile private and public collections.
Ruscha is represented by Gagosian.
