变奏、改写、戏仿与致敬——全球艺术家以创作向埃德·鲁沙著名的摄影观念小书系列致意。

1960至1970年代，艺术家埃德·鲁沙创作了一系列摄影观念主义小书，包括《二十六个加油站》《若干小火》《日落大道每栋建筑》《三十四个停车场》《地产机遇》与《几棵棕榈树》。这些作品以平淡视角记录寻常物象，配以特立独行的冷面标题，成为鲁沙拥趸与艺术家同行竞相收藏的珍爱之作。过去三十年间，全球陆续涌现近百本借鉴或致敬鲁沙的小书。本书汇集其中九十一个项目，呈现每本书的封面与内页样张，并附作品解说，同时收录鲁沙原版书选页及已知致敬作品全录。

这些小巧出版物从形式、内容到标题，对鲁沙进行着复访、模仿、礼赞与解构：有的对其拍摄对象进行再创作——《三十四个停车场，四十年后》；有的展现幽默变奏——《若干未烤曲奇》（与鲁沙《若干小火》同样以一杯牛奶作结）、《二十九掌纹》（拍摄二十九张掌相算命招牌）；有的则反其道而行——《日落大道无一建筑》；更有试图与鲁沙建立私人联结之作——《从我家到鲁沙宅邸太平洋海岸公路沿线各停车场的十七辆泊车》。

Riffs, revisions, knockoffs, and homages: artists pay tribute to Ed Ruscha's famous photo-conceptual small books.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the artist Ed Ruscha created a series of small photo-conceptual artist's books, among them Twentysix Gas Stations, Various Small Fires, Every Building on the Sunset Strip, Thirtyfour Parking Lots, Real Estate Opportunities, and A Few Palm Trees. Featuring mundane subjects photographed prosaically, with idiosyncratically deadpan titles, these "small books" were sought after, collected, and loved by Ruscha's fans and fellow artists. Over the past thirty years, close to 100 other small books that appropriated or paid homage to Ruscha's have appeared throughout the world. This book collects ninety-one of these projects, showcasing the cover and sample layouts from each along with a description of the work. It also includes selections from Ruscha's books and an appendix listing all known Ruscha book tributes. 

These small books revisit, imitate, honor, and parody Ruscha in form, content, and title. Some rephotograph his subjects: Thirtyfour Parking Lots, Forty Years Later. Some offer a humorous variation: Various Unbaked Cookies (which concludes, as did Ruscha's Various Small Fires, with a glass of milk), Twentynine Palms (twenty-nine photographs of palm-readers' signs). Some say something different: None of the Buildings on Sunset Strip. Some reach for a connection with Ruscha himself: 17 Parked Cars in Various Parking Lots Along Pacific Coast Highway Between My House and Ed Ruscha's.
