"Los Angeles Apartments" is a collection of works by American conceptual artist Ed Ruscha. Ruscha creates art through a variety of media, including painting, photography, printmaking, film, and drawing. Originally a graphic designer, his pop art-like works, referencing commercial advertisements, have come to symbolize postwar America and even been described as a symbol of postwar American art. His unique style, both accessible and elusive, offers a wealth of artistic possibilities from a variety of perspectives. Ruscha, who firmly believes that photography is merely one form of expression, is also known for his numerous photo-book (zine) works from the 1960s and 1970s. Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the Kunstmuseum Basel in 2013, this collection is the third in a series of photobooks Ruscha published in the 1960s. The book also features sketches, allowing readers to compare them with actual photographs and gain a deeper understanding of Ruscha's conceptual work methods and progression.
