Cast bronze with hand-applied patina. Signature, year, and edition number etched on the underside of the base. Gal Chews Same Piece of Gum (2021) by Ed Ruscha is a cast bronze sculpture featuring stenciled text with the phrase “GAL CHEWS SAME PIECE OF GUM SINCE 1970.” Known for blending language and visual form, Ruscha here uses industrial materials and laconic humor to explore themes of obsession, absurdity, and endurance. The hand-applied patina gives the work an aged, monument-like quality, amplifying the dry wit of the inscription. This limited-edition piece continues Ruscha’s legacy of transforming banal language into contemplative art.

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.
