Timothy Hursley published Brothels of Nevada: Candid Views of America’s Legal Sex Industry in 2003. (Princeton Architectural Press). Throughout the years 1985 to 2003, Hursley photographed the architectural diversity of Nevada brothels from the grand convention centers to small mobile homes, both operational and abandoned. Although the brothels were often discounted as being unworthy of serious architectural consideration, Hursley poignantly photographed twenty-five of them. A noted detail of the photographs was the exclusion of people. “I sense the people,” Hursley explained, “the footprints of a subculture… a sort of coming together of the owners, the women and the customers, because [in] those rooms I see all three.” Timothy Joseph Hursley is best known as an architectural and art photographer. He learned the art of large-format photography as an apprentice (from age sixteen) to pioneering architectural photographer, Balthazar Korab. Hursley’s works have been exhibited in museums including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.

The images were shot throughout the South, and this particular image was taken in a junk store in Pocahontas, Arkansas. After much haggling, the artist purchased this taxidermy, two-headed calf for his own collection. Timothy Joseph Hursley is best known as an architectural and art photographer.
