This catalogue was published for an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery and contained one word paintings in varying styles to simulate various materials. Ruscha wrote in the catalogue, "Words have temperatures to me. When they reach a certain point and become hot words, then they appeal to me. 'Synthetic' is a very hot word.
