Göttingen. Steidl. 2004. Cloth cream cloth hardcover, titles blind stamped to front cover, titlers to spine in black; housed in the original printed card slipcase. Landscape quarto. First Edition, First Printing. 4,500 black & white and 13,000 color images have been scanned and digitally composed into four long images that run throughout the book. In 1966 Ruscha published Every Building on The Sunset Strip, showing a famous stretch of real estate on both sides of the street along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. In July, 1973 he followed the same procedure while documenting Hollywood Boulevard. June 2004, the same type of camera equipment was used to re-photograph the street this time on 35mm color-negative film. BOOK CONDITION: Near Fine showing soiling with rubbing and a small area of abbraiding to lower fore edge of spine heel; in a Near Fine slipcase showing light overall rubbing and signs of light soiling. Between 1963 and 1978, Ed Ruscha produced 18 small artists' books. Usually self-published in small print-runs, these publications have become seminal works in the history of Conceptual art and the photography book. Then & Now is the first artist's book that Ruscha has made since 1978. One of the most famous of Ruscha's books from that early period is Every Building on the Sunset Strip--a famous stretch of real estate along Sunset Boulevard--published in 1966. In July, 1973 he followed the same procedure when he photographed on Hollywood Boulevard. Loading a continuous strip of 30 feet of Ilford FP-4 black & white film into his Nikon F2 and then mounting it on a tripod in the bed of a pickup truck, he drove back and forth across the 12 miles of street shooting both the north and south sides of its entire length. The negatives were developed, contact sheets were made, and the materials placed in storage. 30 years later, in 2003, a digital record of Hollywood Boulevard was created and it served as a reference guide for the traditional film/still documentary of 2004. For this shoot, the same type of camera equipment was used to re-photograph the street on 35mm color-negative film. The resulting material of both shoots--4,500 black & white and 13,000 color images--have been scanned and digitally composed into four panoramics of the complete 12 miles. In Then & Now, the original 1973 northside view is shown along the top of the page and juxtaposed with its 2004 version. The panoramics face each other and they are aligned. The result is what Ruscha refers to as "a piece of history. a very democratic, unemotional look at the world." Whilst it is a significant historical document which succinctly conflates and renders the passage of time, it is also a project which spans the career of one of the truly original artists of our time and brings his work full circle.…

One of the most well-known of Ruscha's books from that early period is Every Building on The Sunset Strip, showing a famous stretch of real estate along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, published in 1966. In July, 1973 he followed the same procedure while documenting Hollywood Boulevard.
Loading a continuous strip of 33 feet of Ilford FP-4 black & white 35mm film into his motor-drive Nikon F2 and then mounting it on a tripod in the bed of a pickup truck, he drove back and forth across the 12 miles of the street shooting, frame-by-frame, both the north and south sides of its entire length. The negatives were developed, contact sheets were made, and the materials were placed in storage.
Thirty years later, in 2003, a digital record of Hollywood Boulevard was created and it served as a reference guide for the traditional film/still documentary of 2004. For this shoot, the same type of camera equipment was used to re-photograph the street on 35mm color-negative film.
The resulting material of both shoots -- 4500 black & white and 13,000 color images -- have been scanned and digitally composed into four panoramics of the complete 12 miles. In THEN & NOW, the original 1973 North side view is shown along the top of the page and juxtaposed with its 2004 version underneath. Along the bottom of the page, you find the original 1973 South side view shown upside down, also juxtaposed with its 2004 version. The panoramics face each other and they are aligned.
The result is what Ruscha refers to as a piece of history...a very democratic, unemotional look at the world. While it is a significant historical document which succinctly conflates and renders the passage of time, it is also a project that spans the career of one of the truly original artists of our time and brings his work full circle.
