During the past several years, Richard Misrach has been creating a series of large-scale negative prints, as both an homage to the end of the analog negative, and as an exploration of the indexical nature and color of the medium. As a sub-group of this body of work based on landscapes and seascapes, the photographer has worked with, mostly dead, desert vegetation such as tumbleweeds and scrub-brush. Early on, he began using iPhone pictures as studies for the large works, but he came to appreciate the intimate scale and unusual beauty of the small prints in their own right. This One Picture Book comprises of a suite of scrubs taken with an iPhone camera. "iPhone Studies: Reverse Scrubs" is limited to 500 numbered copies, and includes an original signed photograph by Richard Misrach.
NAZRAELI PRESS' popular One Picture Book series was conceived in 1998 as a way to make original artwork affordable. The series consists of uniformly designed, modestly-sized hardcover books, comprising 16 pages that serve as a “canvas” for the artist to display one cohesive body of work. Each title is limited to 500 numbered copies and includes an original tipped-in photograph, signed on the verso by the artist. The One Picture Book series ended in 2016 with its 100th title and has now moved to a new upgraded One Picture Book Two series.
