Lisy Turvey (ed.), Edward Ruscha. Catalogue raisonné of the works on paper, New Haven / London 2014, vol. I, no. D1975.69. "`Hollywood dreams"- I mean, think about it. Close your eyes and what does it mean, visually? It means a ray of light, actually, rather than a sucess story." Ed Ruscha, quoted from: www.tate.org.uk "When it comes to the protagonists of US art after Abstract Expressionism, Ed Ruscha still needs to be mentioned more often. Now, MoMA hosts a retrospective in honor of the Californian artist." Sebastian Moll, Monopol magazine, September 18, 2023. Called up: December 6, 2024 - ca. 18.50 h +/- 20 min.

• With an oeuvre positioned between Pop Art and Conceptual Art, Ruscha is considered one of the most influential figures in American post-war art.
• Just as with the famous painting “Large Trademark with Eight Spotlights” (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York), Ed Ruscha also expresses his fascination with Hollywood in “
Miracle #69
.”
• Ruscha stages the spherical light effects of the cinema in the deep black of the room.
• The comparable pastel “Miracle #64”, which belongs to the collection of the Tate Modern, London, was included in the major retrospective “ED RUSCHA /NOW THEN” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2023/24
