Description: In this iconic lithograph, Ed Ruscha moves away from his text-based works to explore minimal forms with subtle humor. Cheese Circle depicts a circular composition of yellow pieces of cheese on a gray background, playing on the tension between food banality and geometric symbolism.

The work embodies Ruscha’s conceptual and pop approach, blending graphic rigor with poetic impertinence. The imperfect circle questions notions of perfection, repetition and decay, while retaining an immediate and seductive legibility.
