The Amazing Earth, in gift box hand signed twice by Ed Ruscha, ca. 2017
Re-usable ocean bag created from 5 intercepted plastic bottles. In presentation box, uniquely hand signed twice (2x) by Ed Ruscha
Hand signed by Ed Ruscha in his inimitable signature separately on each of the two sides of the presentation gift box
17 × 15 inches
"No one sees the trash in the ocean. It's easy to not think about it." - Ed Ruscha
This limited-edition bag is based on Ed Ruscha's original painting "The Amazing Earth" from 1984. The bag itself is common enough, and can be purchased online at a modest price. However, what makes the present piece a unique and valuable collectors' item is that the gift box that holds the tote is hand signed twice in in by Ed Ruscha - once on each side. It was personally donated by Ruscha to the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) for their 2020 Annual Benefit Auction to benefit LAAA, an organization that has contributed to the development of tens of thousands of emerging Angeleno artists. What's so special is that the buyer of this collectible is free to use the handy tote bag as they would normally, but the box, with a print of The Amazing Earth on the top, and twice signed by Ed Ruscha (one on each side), can be elegantly framed in a shadow box or mounted on a display as a true collectors item.
Authenticity of Ruscha's signature unconditionally guaranteed, as the piece was donated by Ruscha to the LAAA Auction.

- Limited Edition leather clutch (bag) depicting the famed Infinity Mirrored RoomBy Yayoi KusamaLocated in New York, NYYayoi Kusama Infinity Mirrored Room: The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away: Leather Clutch Purse in Original Box, 2017 Leather outside; polyester inside 6 × 10 × 2 inches This leather clutch with polyester on the inside, is, according to the manufacturer, the most popular product they ever sold. It was created exclusively for the Broad Museum in a limited edition of an undisclosed amount, and has long sold out. Brand new in original box. Makes a wonderful gift! The clutch purse itself measures 6 inches vertical x 10 inches horizontal, and the box measures 6.75 inches x 10.75 inches. Inspired by Yayoi Kusama's iconic artwork, Infinity Mirrored Room: The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, 2013—originally done in wood, metal, glass mirrors, plastic, acrylic panel, rubber, LED lighting system, acrylic balls, and water - this collectible and very wearable purse features perspectives of the room's expansive interior. YAYOI KUSAMA BIOGRAPHY Yayoi Kusama's work has transcended two of the most important art movements of the second half of the twentieth century: Pop art and Minimalism. Her highly influential career spans paintings, performances, room-size presentations, outdoor sculptural installations, literary works, films, fashion, design, and interventions within existing architectural structures, which allude at once to microscopic and macroscopic universes. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama’s work has been featured widely in both solo and group presentations. She presented her first solo show in her native Japan in 1952. In the mid-1960s, she established herself in New York as an important avant-garde artist by staging groundbreaking and influential happenings, events, and exhibitions. Her work gained renewed widespread recognition in the late 1980s following a number of international solo exhibitions, including shows at the Center for International Contemporary Arts, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, both of which took place in 1989. She represented Japan in 1993 at the 45th Venice Biennale, to much critical acclaim. In 1998, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, co-organized Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama, 1958–1968, which toured to the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1998-1999), and Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (1999). More recently, in 2011 to 2012, her work was the subject of a large-scale retrospective that traveled to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Tate Modern, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. From 2012 through 2015, three major museum solo presentations of the artist’s work simultaneously traveled to major museums throughout Japan, Asia, and Central and South America. In 2015, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark, organized a comprehensive overview of Kusama’s practice that traveled to Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter, Høvikodden, Norway; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; and Helsinki Art Museum. In 2017-2019, a major survey of the artist’s work, Infinity Mirrors, was presented at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Seattle Art Museum; The Broad, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; The Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Yayoi Kusama: Life Is the Heart of the Rainbow, which marked the first large-scale exhibition of Kusama’s work presented in Southeast Asia, opened at the National Gallery of Singapore in 2017 and traveled to the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, Jakarta. In 2019, All About Love Speaks Forever, an exhibition "tailor-made" specifically for the Fosun Foundation, Shanghai included more than 40 works by the artist. A comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s work was on view at Gropius Bau, Berlin in 2021, and traveled to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2022. KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature...Category
