The Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli continues its research project on collecting and introduces Ed Ruscha: MIXMASTER, an ideal collection made up of objects selected from Turin public collections and placed alongside the artist’s work.
The exhibition, curated by Paolo Colombo, offers a selection of artefacts associated to the areas of interest in Ruscha’s oeuvre, in close connection with his artistic research. Each element coming from Turin collections serves as a historical counterpart to the artist’s oeuvre and in turn Ed Ruscha’s works become a touchstone and a contemporary metaphor of the chosen objects.
