Ed Ruscha is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the pop generation. With a unique ability to harness the visual language of commercial advertising, he has created works that are both subtly powerful and poetically resonant. Ed Ruscha´s works of art speak to us with a cool, enigmatic tone—deceptively simple at first glance, yet rich with lingering meaning.

The exhibition FIGURE IT is Ed Ruscha's first in Sweden since he exhibited Fifty Years of Painting at Moderna Museet in 2010 and simultaneously had a major solo exhibition at Wetterling Gallery.

Ed Ruscha (b. 1937, Omaha, Nebraska) is one of the most influential US artists, standing alongside Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol in shaping contemporary visual culture. Spanning different media his work captures the evolving symbols of American life. His work is represented in major museum collections worldwide and has been featured in numerous retrospectives. Ed Ruscha lives and works in Los Angeles.
