Ed Ruscha was born in Omaha in 1937, grew up in Oklahoma City, and moved to Los Angeles in 1956 to study at Chouinard Art Institute. He became known in the 1960s for paintings that drew on commercial lettering, advertising, and roadside signs.

Ruscha’s books used plain captions and simple layouts to catalogue things like swimming pools, parking lots, and buildings on the Sunset Strip. He published them himself and sold them for a few dollars.

Twentysix Gasoline Stations was his first artist’s book, published in 1963. Ruscha came up with the title before taking the pictures. The book contains 26 black-and-white photographs of gas stations between Los Angeles and Oklahoma City, each captioned with the station’s name and location.
