{"product_id":"ed-ruschas-streets-of-los-angeles","title":"Ed Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles","description":"In\n  1966, Ed Ruscha drove a car rigged with a motorized camera to\n  capture Los Angeles' most iconic street: Sunset Boulevard. Navigating the\n  boulevard, he created a time capsule of its famed facades, beginning an\n  almost sixty-year-long commitment to documenting the changing urban landscape\n  of postwar Los Angeles. The Streets of Los Angeles Project that comprises\n  these photographs is likely the most comprehensive artistic record of any\n  city, with over 900,000 images of major thoroughfares. Ruscha's photographs\n  constitute an unparalleled visual chronicle of some of Los Angeles's most\n  iconic sites while also capturing the tapestry of everyday life-popular music\n  venues, neighborhood restaurants, and billboards promoting Hollywood's latest\n  blockbusters.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    In this volume, scholars from disciplines such as urban planning, cultural geography,\n  architecture, art history, and musicology explore the Streets of Los Angeles\n  Archive as a rich repository for analyzing Ruscha's practice and the city's visual\n  culture. Using his\n  photographs and dynamic data visualizations, the authors consider what it means\n  to interpret an archive mostly accessible through digital technologies and\n  demonstrate how histories of art have been indelibly reshaped since the\n  advent of the information age in the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e This publication was created using Quire (TM), a multiformat publishing\ntool from Getty.
