The painting for sale at Christie's has remained in private hands for more than two decades. It is estimated to fetch between US$18 million and US$22 million. This is a far cry from the US$52.5 million price obtained for “Hurting the Word Radio #2,” which was sold at Christie's New York in 2019 and marked a record price for the American artist.
However, bids could rise given the appeal of Ed Ruscha's word paintings hold for collectors. One of them, titled “Smash,” sold for US$30.4 million at Christie's in 2014. “'Ripe' stands as a wonderful example of the highly celebrated series of liquid paintings by the inimitable Ed Ruscha, said Barrett White, Executive Deputy Chairman for Christie's Post-War & Contemporary Art Department. “We are thrilled to present this icon as a highlight of our 20th Century Evening Sale this November.”This painting will be offered at auction together with another masterpiece of American painting: “Jean-Michel Basquiat” by Andy Warhol.
And it worked. While Basquiat finished his portrait of Warhol the same day, the older artist took a few Polaroids of the younger artist before returning to the Factory. There, he subjected Basquiat's portrait to oxidation, a process he began experimenting with in the late 1970s, urinating on painted copper canvases to produce a staining effect.
