More on 'I Don't Want No Retro Spective':
Created for the American actor, Bud Cort, arguably best known for his iconic role in the 1971 American film classic Harold and Maude oppostie Ruth Gordon. Ruscha presented I Don't Want No Retro Spective to his friend following Cort's near-death accident on the Hollywood Freeway in 1979. Ruscha gave the work to the actor on his hospital bed, yet the phrase depicted, 'I Don't Want No Retro Spective,' goes back several years earlier. The pair were having dinner together at a Los Angeles restaurant. As Cort recalls, Ruscha had just returned from a show in Switzerland where he had mentioned that he had come across a theatre that was screening three of Bud's films: Brewster McCloud, Harold and Maude and Why Shoot the Teacher?, and referred to it as somewhat of a 'Cort retrospective'. In response, the actor paused then proclaimed, "I don't want no retro spective" – Ruscha found this statement so amusing that he decided to memorialize it in one of his works, waiting for the appropriate moment to surprise Mr. Cort.
About Ruscha:
Edward Ruscha has long been an influential voice in postwar American art. Though he emerged at a time when a number of movements were appearing on the US scene, he is not associated with any one group. Instead, Ruscha brings to his work a range of ideas from Surrealism, Pop, and Conceptual Art. A prolific innovator and a keen student of popular culture, the artist has created a body of paintings, drawings, prints, books, photographs, and films that is uniquely American in both subject and sensibility.
