Ed Ruscha: Mysteries Taryn Simon photorealist paintings of famous diamondsEd Ruscha created Mysteries, a color lithograph, in collaboration with the Minneapolis based workshop Vermillion Editions Limited in 2021. It is based on a large oil on canvas painting from 1987. Mysteries can be major (Why do we exist?) or minor (Where the heck did I put my car keys?). In Ruschas print, four instances of the word mysteries are superimposed one over the other in multiple registers of scale and color against a shadowy crimson ground.
