This piece in particular and the dialogue it supports make for an altogether not-half-bad start to the show. Inspired by the work of Marcel Duchamp, Ruscha came to view the American landscape as his very own 'read-made', a concept continued in John Baldessari's Three Red Paintings (1988) and Untitled (Lovelight) (1999) by Miami artist Mark Hanforth – a startling piece of objet trouve that Hanforth turns from a functional object into a lyrical sculpture. In a far corner of the Francine Bishop Good Gallery a chunky white vitrine displays MOCA'a first acquisition: 8 photography books by Edward Ruscha that were generously donated in 1994 by Skip Van Cel. Included in this exhibition, the first installment of a two part series, are a collection of works by international contemporary artists that seemingly mark not only important moments in the development of respective careers but also turning points for contemporary art. On March 25th Pivot Points Part 1 opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami.
