Towards Christiana (Copenhagen) by Rachel Sussman

Wednesday greetings, collectors. You're going to have to forgive me for keeping it brief — it's my last day in SF and in spite of my best intentions, yesterday's ambitious plans went uncompleted. To make matters worse, I am already way behind, as evidenced by the lateness of this dispatch.

Fortunately, today's photography edition, Towards Christiana (Copenhagen), is so gorgeous; a song and a dance from me isn't needed to convince you of its aesthetic merits. That said, I'd be doing you all a disservice if I didn't call attention to photographer Rachel Sussman's rigorous and adventurous artistic practice.

Like today's edition, all of Rachel's images are unfailingly stunning — they're lush, epic and beautifully composed — but she creates these tableaux in the service of some big ideas and ambitions that have, quite literally, taken her all over the world.

One special note about this edition: It's offered in our three standard 20x200 editions, but we also have an edition of 3 prints available at Rachel's normal exhibition size of 44"x 54". They are amazing! You can mail collector at 20x200 dot com for more information about those.

Rachel showed another photo from her Lost in Paradise with me back in 2005 as part of the very first Hey, Hot Shot! showcase. Since then, she's gone from being a photographer with a day job to someone who spends most of her time making pictures.

All her hard work has paid off! Her solo show, The Oldest Living Things In The World opens @ Michael Steinberg Fine Art in Chelsea tomorrow and it promises to be a real treat.

As for me, I've got some San Francisco treats to stock up on. I'm off until next week, when I'll be coming to you live from New York. See you then!
