Artist Ed Ruscha has played with the fluidity of language, the sublime in landscapes, and looked at advertising as a form, symbol, and material in painting. He also has produced one of the most significant artistic records of Los Angeles in his “Streets of Los Angeles” project.
The “Streets of Los Angeles” project has lasted over 50 years, producing over half a million photographs of the city in a systematic attempt to document major streets in LA, including Melrose Avenue, Pacific Coast Highway, and Sunset Boulevard.
The Getty Research Institute acquired the "Streets of Los Angeles" archive in 2011 and has been working to digitize the massive collection and make this resource public to scholars of history, art, architecture, urban studies, and more.
Ed Ruscha is a recipient of the 2019 Getty Medal, and in this short video hear about his work and impact from his brother Paul Ruscha, his studio manager Susan Haller, and Andrew Perchuk of the Getty Research Institute.
