In 1963 Ruscha made a photographic book entitled `Twentysix Gasoline Stations?. It comprised a selection of black and white snapshots drawn from a vast collection of dead-pan images taken by the artist of petrol stations that he passed, or stopped at, as he travelled through the states of California, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. `Standard? is the name of a petroleum company and this drawing is one of a number of paintings and works on paper that arose from the photographic project.
