Geary Blvd. Wilshire 2001

Editor: This is Edward Ruscha’s “Geary Blvd. Wilshire,” and I’m struck by its quiet, almost ghostly presence. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, aren't those lines just the freeways of our minds, humming with the quiet electricity of Los Angeles? Ruscha captures the city's soul in these unassuming streets. The colors… fleeting memories. What do you think? Editor: I see that too. It's like he's not just showing us the streets, but the feeling of being there. Thank you! Curator: My pleasure. A little bit of Ruscha is like a little bit of sunshine, no?
