Ruscha\u2019s book of photographs <em>Twenty-six Gasoline Stations<\/em>\u2014specifically the page depicting a Standard Oil station in Amarillo, Texas\u2014provided the model for this print as well as a painting he made in 1963. Perhaps the most notable feature of the print version of the image is the gradation of the colors in the sky. Ruscha achieved this effect through the \u201cSplit-Fountain\u201d technique, which blends ink to create a rainbow effect. The technique originated in commercial printing and had been used in lithographic and screenprinting shops for many years, but Ruscha was one of the first to use it in fine-art printing. As art historian Riva Castleman has pointed out, the garish rainbow effect achieved by Ruscha in this print was so often imitated by other artists that, by the late 1960s, it had become a printing clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"Image: 49.4 \u00d7 93.5 cm (19 1\/2 \u00d7 36 13\/16 in.); Sheet: 65.1 \u00d7 101.4 cm (25 11\/16 \u00d7 39 15\/16 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":93,"height":49,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Image"},{"depth":null,"width":101,"height":65,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Sheet"}],"medium_display":"Color screenprint on ivory wove paper","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Harold Joachim Purchase Fund","catalogue_display":"<p>Engberg 32 I\/I<\/p>","publication_history":null,"exhibition_history":null,"provenance_text":null,"edition":null,"publishing_verification_level":"Web Basic","internal_department_id":3,"fiscal_year":null,"fiscal_year_deaccession":null,"is_public_domain":false,"is_zoomable":false,"max_zoom_window_size":843,"copyright_notice":null,"has_multimedia_resources":false,"has_educational_resources":false,"has_advanced_imaging":false,"colorfulness":44.8562,"color":{"h":201,"l":50,"s":54,"percentage":0.00988533017002768,"population":39},"latitude":null,"longitude":null,"latlon":null,"is_on_view":false,"on_loan_display":null,"gallery_title":null,"gallery_id":null,"nomisma_id":null,"artwork_type_title":"Print","artwork_type_id":18,"department_title":"Prints and Drawings","department_id":"PC-13","artist_id":40791,"artist_title":"Ed Ruscha","alt_artist_ids":[],"artist_ids":[40791],"artist_titles":["Ed Ruscha"],"category_ids":["PC-13"],"category_titles":["Prints and Drawings"],"term_titles":["screen printing","screenprint","paper (fiber product)","print","prints and drawing"],"style_id":null,"style_title":null,"alt_style_ids":[],"style_ids":[],"style_titles":[],"classification_id":"TM-214","classification_title":"screenprint","alt_classification_ids":["TM-17","TM-4"],"classification_ids":["TM-214","TM-17","TM-4"],"classification_titles":["screenprint","print","prints and drawing"],"subject_id":null,"alt_subject_ids":[],"subject_ids":[],"subject_titles":[],"material_id":"TM-2982","alt_material_ids":[],"material_ids":["TM-2982"],"material_titles":["paper (fiber product)"],"technique_id":"TM-10604","alt_technique_ids":[],"technique_ids":["TM-10604"],"technique_titles":["screen printing"],"theme_titles":[],"image_id":"475be7b3-8d03-e1ff-d705-6ffa4b82fd0b","alt_image_ids":[],"document_ids":["f877ceed-f186-b9e5-0db5-41dd1f72ecb9"],"sound_ids":["f877ceed-f186-b9e5-0db5-41dd1f72ecb9"],"video_ids":[],"text_ids":[],"section_ids":[],"section_titles":[],"site_ids":[],"suggest_autocomplete_all":[{"input":["1974.59d"],"contexts":{"groupings":["accession"]}},{"input":["Double Standard"],"weight":591,"contexts":{"groupings":["title"]}}],"source_updated_at":"2025-07-02T14:17:08-05:00","updated_at":"2026-04-28T17:00:55-05:00","timestamp":"2026-07-12T01:55:05-05:00"},"info":{"license_text":"The `description` field in this response is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Generic License (CC-By) and the Terms and Conditions of artic.edu.
