Mr Ray, 1975
Offset lithograph in colors Signed and numbered
14 x 20 inches 35 x 51.2 cm
Edition
Edition of 100
In Mr Ray, Ed Ruscha combines his fascination with language and color to create a work that is at once enigmatic and personal. The piece’s straightforward title, rendered in Ruscha’s clean, bold typography, suggests a character or persona - inviting viewers to imagine the story behind the name. With his characteristic blend of irony and simplicity, Ruscha transforms a seemingly ordinary reference into a quietly compelling exploration of identity, narrative, and the power of names to evoke presence and mystery within the American cultural landscape.
