Mixographia print on handmade paper // Cash for Tolls 1 (from Rusty Signs) by Ed Ruscha, created in 2014, is part of the artist’s Rusty Signs series, showcasing his fascination with language and the aesthetic of aged surfaces. This mixographia print on handmade paper gives the appearance of rusted metal, mimicking the texture and color of corroded signs. The phrase CASH FOR TOOLS is etched in bold, block letters, creating a striking visual and conceptual impact. Ruscha’s use of weathered textures and industrial themes contrasts with the everyday language of the sign, inviting viewers to contemplate the mundane and its transformation into art. Limited to an edition of 50 with 10 artist proofs, the work is a testament to Ruscha's ability to blend text, materiality, and conceptual thought, turning the familiar into an object of aesthetic and philosophical intrigue.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
