Phaidon, Artspace, and The Broad are proud to announce DRFTRS (Daisy Ghost) (2025), a new limited edition print by acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist Sterling Ruby.

Drawn from Ruby’s ongoing series, DRFTRS (Daisy Ghost) (2025) incorporates collage and lithography and exemplifies a painterly approach to printmaking. Layers of rich monochromatic hues intertwine with gestural lines to create a dynamic composition and surface details that allude to landscape, archeology, and cyanotype.

Ruby is renowned for a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, collage, video, and installation. His sustained engagement with the complexities of contemporary life encompass themes of violence, confinement, societal pressures, and transformation through a rigorous focus on material and artistic process. His work compiles fragments of the everyday into reflections on cultural tension and the human condition.

This edition continues Ruby’s ongoing exploration of collage as a site of formal and conceptual experimentation - a process he has described as an illicit merger.

“When everything comes together in these collages it’s like an optical case of what’s real and what is not.” - Sterling Ruby

DRFTRS (Daisy Ghost) (2025) was co-commissioned by Phaidon and The Broad to mark the 30th anniversary of Phaidon’s Contemporary Artists Series - which features Ruby’s monograph - and the 10th anniversary of The Broad, where his work is part of the permanent collection. 

Limited to an edition of 180, each work is individually signed and numbered by the artist.
