This anthology of writings and interviews, edited by Jean-Pierre Criqui (editor-in-chief of the “Cahiers du Musée d’art moderne” and one of the best European critics of American art), offers a first opportunity to French readers to discover Ruscha’s comments on his own work, his beginnings, his evolution, the artistic developments of the period, and the relationship between art and society. Gathering together texts from 1974 to 2009, this book is a unique occasion to approach Ruscha’s work and life from the inside.
