More about the book

"Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take color beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, Shore's large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition over the past thirty years. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works presents a definitive collection of the landmark series, including over sixty previously unpublished images." "An essay by noted critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and a conversation with Shore by fiction writer Lynne Tillman examine his methodology as they elucidate his roots in the pop and conceptual art movements of the late-sixties and early-seventies. The texts are illustrated with reproductions from Shore's earlier series American Surfaces and Amarillo: Tall in Texas."--BOOK JACKET.
