DESCRIPTION

Explore the iconic work of Stephen Shore in "Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places", a must-have for photography enthusiasts.

First published in 1982, this seminal book has shaped a generation of photographers.

Shore's pioneering use of color in capturing the American vernacular landscape transcended traditional boundaries of advertising and fashion photography, establishing a vital photographic tradition.

"Uncommon Places: The Complete Works", released by Aperture in 2005, is a comprehensive collection of Shore's landmark series, now recognized as a contemporary classic.

This meticulously reissued edition includes nearly 20 newly rediscovered images and a statement from Shore on the evolution of the series.

Shore's work, akin to the visual storytelling of Robert Frank and Walker Evans, offers a unique perspective on America through his lens.

His subjects—ranging from hotel rooms to street-side buildings—are portrayed with a cool objectivity that imbues them with both archetypal significance and personal resonance.

The book features insightful essays by critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and an in-depth conversation with Shore by writer Lynne Tillman, exploring his methodologies and his roots in Pop and Conceptual art.

Enhanced with reproductions from Shore's earlier series "American Surfaces" and "Amarillo: Tall in Texas", this book is a testament to Shore's enduring influence and artistic vision.
