Object ID 71.05.36 Artist Ed Ruscha b. 1937 Born in Omaha, NE Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Drawing Medium Pastel and gunpowder on paper Exhibition Label Copy the most recent text made for a exhibition didactic label A major voice to emerge in American art during the early 1960s, Ed Ruscha was a pioneer in the development of a West Coast brand of pop art and an early practitioner of conceptual art. He first gained attention for paintings that contained single words that referenced the world of commercial culture. Business is one of a group of drawings in which Ruscha rendered his letters as if they had been fashioned from folded strips of paper, here as if unfurled from a spool of adding machine tape. Working in pastel and gunpowder, a medium he preferred over graphite, Ruscha creates a composition that recalls both the proportions of a cinema screen and the notion of the landscape—in this case, a burnt-orange, Technicolor sunset. Business was acquired in 1971 through one of the Minnesota Museum of American Art’s ambitious Drawings USA exhibitions, installed biannually from 1961 to 1976.
