Industrial Strength

Edward Ruscha, Thomas E. Crow, Paul Schimmel

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with the completion of Ed Ruscha's project at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in 2008. Text by Paul Schimmel and Thomas E. Crow. "Ed Ruscha: Industrial Strength is published on the occasion of the artist's completion of 'Industrial Strength Sleep,' a 23-foot by 9-foot tapestry created at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia and based on his 1989 painting of the same name. In his introductory essay, curator Paul Schimmel explains the artist's process: 'Though Ruscha has consistently pushed the boundaries of his own iconography, which typically comprises concrete words and phrases, it is in fact his range of materials and processes that has characterized the ever-changing and restless nature of his practice.'" -- publisher's statement.
