Between 1962 and 1978, Ed Ruscha produced eighteen small artist’s books.
Usually self-published and in small print runs, these publications have become
seminal works in the history of conceptual art and the photography book.
THEN & NOW is the first artist’s book that Ruscha has independently
created since 1972.

The Jens pictures began as an experiment. To photograph a young boy in many
of the positions that Andrew Wyeth painted the model Helga; to give someone
another identity and photograph them through the transformation. The work
evolved into a kind of dance between the two models, between painting and
photography, between the exacting detail of photography and all the nuances
of sketches and drawings.
