When the critic Dave Hickey stumbled
upon a small pile of the artist Ed
Ruscha’s Twentysix Gasoline Stations in a
bookstore in Austin, Texas, in 1964, he
had an epiphany:
I picked one up and opened it. . . [it] was the
coolest thing I’d ever seen. . . . if we moved
through this book as we move across a map,
as we move across America, and the number
of physical pages corresponded to the num-ber
of objects depicted... well, hell, it all
might mean something!1
