# PictureBox

PictureBox was an art, music, photography, and comics publishing company based in Brooklyn, New York directed by Dan Nadel. PictureBox published its own books and packages books and concepts for museums and galleries. The company began in 2002 with The Ganzfeld 2 and gradually shifted to emphasize a diverse assortment of visual ideas and topics. PictureBox was best known for its books by artists from or related to the Providence art scene of the 2000s, music books, and projects for numerous artists involved with the New York gallery Canada. The cover art for Wilco's A Ghost Is Born, designed by Peter Buchanan-Smith and Nadel, won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in 2005.
In December 2013, Nadel announced PictureBox would cease publishing at the end of the year. Since then, Nadel has curated exhibitions and edited books including What Nerve!: Alternative Figures in American Art, 1960 to the Present, Takeshi Murata, Jimmy De Sana's Suburban, and The Collected Hairy Who Publications. He also co-curated, with Carroll Dunham, an exhibition of drawings by Elizabeth Murray.
