Cues

Artist Book. The 19th title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). "Sara Gilbert is a well-known actor who has recently begun pursuing photography professionally. 'Cues' comprises ten photographs made on the set of the sitcom 'Roseanne', in which Gilbert played the role of Darlene Conner for nine years. The book explores the idea of similarity between sets and homes since Gilbert spent an equal amount of time at both" (Chris Pichler). If we were not told otherwise, the photographs look like they were taken in a typical American middle-class home. Sara Gilbert's delicate blurring of the now very fine line between "Media" and "Reality" is acute and telling. A brilliant debut. 9 color plates, 1 original print. © 2006 ModernRare.com
