What happened to Ed Ruscha?

I have always admired Ruscha's scintillating usage of words in his paintings.
But, his latest show at Gagosian in Chelsea was a conundrum. It seemed like a desperate attempt to remain relevant. The gallery space couldn't have been better designed for the pieces in the show, but the problem was the work on view. What were you thinking, Mr. Ruscha?
