More than highway debris

Ed Ruscha's series of ten paintings included in "Psycho Spaghetti Westerns" at the Gagosian Gallery on Camden Drive [in Beverly Hills], are canvases filled with images of assorted objects in various stages of abandonment and decay.  The 73-year old artist states "These are just objects; they could be looked at as if they are brand new."  "The whole world is so homogeneous that at this point trash found in Russia or France could end up here or being from here."  Definitely worth a visit to the gallery to view these 10 new pieces.
