Edward Ruscha photographs of Los Angeles streets and related documentation : Santa Monica Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, Pacific Coast Highway and other streets, 1974-2011.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/776270168

The collection is comprised of Edward Ruscha's ongoing photographic documentation of Los Angeles thoroughfares. It includes street shots made of Santa Monica Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, and the Pacific Coast Highway (1974-1975, three shoots) and extensive ongoing documentation of over twenty-five streets (currently over 40 shoots), including Sepulveda, Pico, Olympic, Wilshire, La Cienega, and Beverly Boulevards, that he has undertaken since 2007. This material demonstrates Ruscha's interest in producing an almost comprehensive representation of the city's streets. The shoots from 1974-1975 include negatives, contact sheets, notes, and related production materials. Each shoot from 2007 onward consists of two reels of color negatives (a weekday and weekend shoot), one reel of color positives, and a binder of production materials.
