It should be said that Baldessari’s penchant for depicting noses in his work extends as far back as 1965 with the conception of "God Nose", one of the artist’s very few pre-1965 paintings to have survived.

Here, with his onestar press edition, Baldessari conceives a book about a nose, with a nose, wherein the artist’s famed subject appears and disappears upon a series of pages, in one fluid sweep.

During its active years from 2000 to 2019, onestar press boasted a remarkable production line consisting of over 300 books, 300 multiples, and artists' films. The organisation's commitment to granting artists space, freedom, and flexibility in realising their creative concepts, along with its embrace of new technologies, fostered fruitful collaborations with international artists across a wide array of projects.

onestar press held a steadfast vision when it came to contemporary creation, maintaining a non-didactic and diversified approach. This vision manifested in their publication of artists from different generations, countries, and perspectives, effectively serving as a subjective "encyclopedia" that reflects our multifaceted civilisation.
