Book Synopsis
The first book to consider the importance of commercial art and design for Ed Ruscha’s work

Trade Review
“Ruscha has captured the zeitgeist of American culture for decades, and Jennifer Quick helps us understand that an essential part of his talent for representing the popular, the spectacular, and the alluring is connected to his lifelong fascination with design.”—David Brody, Parsons School of Design, The New School

“Jennifer Quick’s approach is timely and compelling, given the high profile of design in contemporary culture, but it is her close reading of Ruscha’s complex play with materials and form that ultimately make this such a rewarding account of his art.”—Ken D. Allan, Seattle University
