In Actual Size, Ruscha includes a to-scale image of a flying can of Spam, elevating this budget-friendly lunchmeat to iconic status, similar to Warhol’s depictions of popular soup, cereal, and cleaning products. The painting was included in the 1962 exhibition New Painting of Common Objects at the Pasadena Art Museum, regarded as the first museum exhibition of Pop art in the United States.
