Ed Ruscha, Evil [Not For Sale], screen print with bold black text EVIL on a vibrant red background.

Screenprint in colors // Ed Ruscha’s Evil [Not For Sale] is a bold screen print created in 1973, featuring the word EVIL in large, capitalized black letters against a striking red background. The simplicity and starkness of the typography contrast with the charged meaning of the word itself, making it a thought-provoking piece. Ruscha is known for his text-based works that often play with language and meaning. Here, the menacing word takes on an almost commercial appearance, yet the implied message of “Not For Sale” disrupts any potential commodification, reinforcing the tension between meaning and context.

Artwork by Andy Warhol

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
