His paintings, prints, and artist books are held in virtually every major museum collection worldwide, and his auction record exceeds $52 million. Ruscha is widely considered one of the most important American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAbsolut Vodka artist series\u003c\/strong\u003e — which commissioned original works from Ruscha, Warhol, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, and dozens of other major artists — is one of the most celebrated intersections of fine art and advertising in history. These commissions are collected as serious art objects in their own right, with the Ruscha example being among the most prized for its characteristic minimalist wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWork Details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edward Ruscha (American, b. 1937)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolut Ruscha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed limited-edition color lithograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988 (signed and dated in pencil)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photorealistic Absolut Vodka bottle against hazy green gradient background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSight Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 44.5\" × 32.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48.5\" × 37\" × 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under plexiglass in silver-tone frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerso:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gallery label from the Absolut Americana Museum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood overall condition with mild surface wear.
