The Fan and Its Surroundings, from The Global Edition (E. 123), 1982
This striking lithograph by Ed Ruscha exemplifies the artist's masterful exploration of text and image that has defined his practice since the 1960s. Printed in colors on premium Rives BFK paper, this hand-signed and numbered edition showcases Ruscha's technical precision and conceptual depth. The generous sheet size (36 3/4 x 31 5/8 inches) provides an immersive viewing experience of Ruscha's carefully composed visual language.
