==Discovered lost Bas Jan Ader film==
In 2009 Horvitz released the artist book Rarely Seen Bas Jan Ader Film,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://2ndcannons.com/f_davidhorvtiz.html |title=2nd Cannons Publications |publisher=2ndcannons.com |date= |accessdate=2012-04-17}}</ref> with Los Angeles based publisher 2nd Cannons Publications. A few years prior Horvitz discovered a lost film by [[Bas Jan Ader]], the Dutch conceptual artist who was lost at sea in 1975. The film was found at the [[University of California at Irvine]], where Ader had taught before his disappearance. Before becoming a book, the video had circulated online on various sources, including [[YouTube]]. The video had been repeatedly removed, which Horvitz claimed was from the requests of the gallery who represents Ader's estate.<ref>{{cite web|author=July 16, 2009&nbsp;|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/07/art-review-david-horvitz-at-2nd-cannons-publications.html |title=Los Angeles Times |publisher=Latimesblogs.latimes.com |date=2009-07-16 |accessdate=2012-04-17}}</ref>

In December 2010 and January 2011, Horvitz drove the whole California coast up the Pacific Coast Highway, starting at Border Field State Park on the Mexican Border, and ending at Pelican State Beach on the Oregon Border. At each of 50 chosen locations, Horvitz took pictures of the ocean view, standing with the frame of the shot. All of these images were then placed onto the Wikipedia articles about the different locations. [1]

During the exhibition of this work at at SF Camerawork in San Francisco, this work began to generate controversy on Wikipedia, with some editors removing his images.[2][3] Horvtiz then incorporated this material into the documentation of the work.[4]
