Highlighting Ruscha’s engagement with photography, vernacular architecture and car culture, this second Getty exhibition for Pacific Standard Time Presents features prints and materials related to Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1963), Some Los Angeles Apartments (1965), and Every Building on the Sunset Strip (1966).  On view for the first time are also contact sheets from the artist’s shoot of Pacific Coast Highway in 1974-75, one of the many streets he has documented extensively since 1965.
