This article presents Ed Ruscha's 1994 print "Clock," a Mixografia print on handmade paper measuring 40 1/2 × 34 inches, part of a limited edition of 75 plus 7 artist's proofs. The work is being offered by Upsilon Gallery, which has locations in New York, London, Miami, and Milan. The article includes a biography of Ruscha, noting his career since the 1960s, his use of unusual materials like gunpowder and Pepto Bismol, his representation of the United States at the 2005 Venice Biennale, and his auction record of $68.3 million at Christie's in 2024.
The article matters because it highlights a specific work by one of the most significant living American artists, whose market has seen substantial growth with an eight-figure auction record. The listing by Upsilon Gallery indicates ongoing commercial interest in Ruscha's prints, which are collected by major institutions including MoMA, Centre Pompidou, Tate, and the Guggenheim. The piece serves as both a sales listing and a brief career overview, reflecting the intersection of art commerce and critical recognition.
