Welwitchia Mirabilis #0707-22411 by Rachel Sussman

Unsurprisingly, Rachel Sussman's 20x200 edition from earlier this week, Towards Christiana (Copenhagen), is sold out in all but the largest sizes already. The collectors who get the large ones are lucky ducks though — it just so happens that Rachel's photographs are particularly fantastic as big prints. Of course you should take my word on it, but why not see it with your own eyes?

If you're a NYer, or are planning on visiting our fair city any time this month, make your way to Michael Steinberg Fine Art over in Chelsea where you can see ginormous, delicious prints from Rachel's ongoing The Oldest Living Things in the World series.

For over a year now, Rachel's been "researching, working with biologists, and traveling around the world to photograph living organisms, aged 2000 years old and older." I love that she's chronicling her adventures on her project blog, as well as accepting frequent flier mile donations to offset what must be tremendous travelling expenses—if you've got any to spare, please consider sending them her way! "You'll receive a special limited edition print," she says, "in addition to my undying gratitude." Places still on Rachel's list include Tasmania, Southern Australia, Greenland, Sri Lanka, Antarctica, Ibiza, Crete, Sweden and Northern California, so she's still got lots of flying to do.

Frequent Flier miles aside, adding the work of an emerging artist to your collection is a meaningful and lasting form of support. We've still got those two 30"x40" prints of Rachel's available for purchase and we're also offering an edition of 3 prints at her above-mentioned ginormo exhibition size of 44"x54". Drop an email to collector at 20x200 dot com to learn more about those.
