During Ed Ruscha’s first time in New York City, he visited MoMA after giving us a cold call asking to see a drawing. A staff member gave Ruscha a private audience with Johannes Theodor Baargeld’s “Untitled (Beetles),” which Ruscha described as akin to “getting an audience with the pope.”
62 years later, #EdRuscha’s major retrospective is on view at the Museum—including “Parking Lines,” a painting made back in car-centric Los Angeles replacing the insects with rows of automobiles. Baargeld’s “Untitled (Beetles)” hangs just one floor below in our fifth floor galleries.
