West (Cover Design)

Author: RUSCHA, Ed
Title: West (Cover Design)
Publication: Los Angeles: Los Angeles Times, 1969

Description: First Edition. Quarto. Offset on newsprint; cover image after a photograph of Ruscha's oil-on-canvas painting. For the December 7, 1969 issue of West-the Sunday supplement of The Los Angeles Times-Ed Ruscha was commissioned to design the cover; his painting Annie represented inside, in a feature on the art collection of Betty Asher. For the cover, Ruscha created an original word-painting from the journal's title, with its letters painted to resemble spilled liquid. The editors-concerned that their title had been rendered illegible-added the parenthetical caption (west) to Ruscha's design. Though printed to common newsprint, this copy is remarkably clean and sharp; just a hint of wear along the edges, otherwise fine.
