Mixographia print on handmade paper // For Sale 17 Acres (from Rusty Signs) by Ed Ruscha, created in 2014, is a mixographia print on handmade paper that forms part of his Rusty Signs series. The artwork captures the look and feel of an aged and corroded metal sign, complete with a textured, rust-like surface. The phrase FOR SALE 17 ACRES is embossed in large, block letters, emphasizing the utilitarian nature of the sign while transforming it into a contemplative work of art. The weathered appearance evokes a sense of abandonment and the passage of time, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of commercialism, land, and change. Ruscha's use of everyday language presented in such a degraded, industrial aesthetic bridges the gap between text and visual art, provoking thought about the relationship between objects and the messages they convey. This print is part of a limited edition of 85, exemplifying Ruscha’s distinctive style of turning familiar, often overlooked imagery into profound artistic statements.

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.
