Ed Ruscha Gets In Touch!

When Ed Ruscha visited Wolverhampton Art Gallery (UK) recently, my friend and business partner, Doreen Gibbons, suggested I gave him a piece of my pop art as a gesture of thanks for his visit. 
I thought it was a pretty good idea, and sure enough, at the end of his talk, Doreen presented Ed with a framed limited issue print of 'Man Ray Stops Bullets' (below).
It was all wrapped up, so Ed didn't know what the gift was, and I was left wondering if it would make it all the way back to California.
Anyway, this morning I got a thank you email from Ed Ruscha's assistant, Mary, saying that he appreciated the gesture very much, and that he had had a great time when meeting everyone in Wolverhampton!
This has absolutely made my year! 
A big thank you to Ed, who has once again proved what a genuine guy he is.
