Originally published in 1963, this seminal artist's book features twenty-six black-and-white photographs of gasoline stations situated along Route 66. By presenting these mundane structures with a detached, serial aesthetic, Edward Ruscha challenged traditional notions of the photographic medium and the role of the artist's book. The work remains a foundational text in the development of conceptual art and the documentation of American roadside vernacular.
