Unfolding to nearly twenty-five feet, this accordion-format book comprises a photo collage that captures both sides of a mile-and-a-half stretch of #SunsetBoulevard in #LosAngeles. To achieve this continuous image, #Ruscha and his team mounted a motorized camera on the bed of his pickup truck. “All I was after was that store-front plane . . . It’s like a Western town in a way,” he later reflected. “A store-front plane of a Western town is just paper, and everything behind it is just nothing.” After producing this book, Ruscha was inspired to document other streets in LA, a practice he continued for more than fifty years. #artbooks #artbookstagram #edruscha #LA #bookart
