Ed Ruscha holds up a mirror to American society by transforming some of its defining attributes—from consumer culture and popular entertainment to the ever-changing urban landscape—into the very subject of his art. Be sure to explore ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN and see his early works, installations, and more before the exhibition closes on October 6.
To get a deeper look at works on view, visit the exhbition on Friday or Sunday to join free a docent-led tour.
This weekend, on Saturday, September 28, you're invited to The For Freedoms Congress (FFCON), groundbreaking artist-led gathering of artists, cultural institutions, organizations, and civic leaders transforming our social and political landscape. Join For Freedoms at LACMA for immersive and participatory programs designed to reimagine what creative collaboration and civic engagement can look like.
