Alongside his large-format camera, he also brought a 35mm Leica with him on his journey across the USA. The images made with it, on color slide film, are intimate, spontaneous and personal. However, they still retain Shore’s studied formal sensitivity. In these entirely unseen photographs, a parallel iteration of an iconic vision emerges. Instead of feeling like a B-Side this book stands alone as a great body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe imagery is familiar: highways and homes, phone boxes, fast food and sun-strewn parking lots. But the alternative format unmistakably re-envisions these subjects through distinct experiments with the medium. This new book uncovers both a detail-oriented survey of America in the 1970s. As well as a rigorous, imaginative exercise in form by an undisputed modern master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e192 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYear: 2020 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mack Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44482818900263,"sku":"","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/7342\/5959\/products\/cover332_860x_59bc77e6-415f-4cda-8975-147b48d32263.jpg?v=1676958316"},{"product_id":"stephen-shore-uncommon-places","title":"Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOriginally published in 1982, Stephen Shore's legendary \"Uncommon Places\" has influenced more than a generation of photographers. Shore was among the first artists to take color beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, and his large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape inaugurated a vital photographic tradition. \"Uncommon Places: The Complete Works,\" published by Aperture in 2005, presented a definitive collection of the landmark series, and in the span of a decade has become a contemporary classic. Now, for this lushly produced reissue, the artist has added nearly 20 rediscovered images and a statement explaining what it means to expand a classic series. Like Robert Frank and Walker Evans before him, Shore discovered a hitherto unarticulated vision of America via highway and camera. Approaching his subjects with cool objectivity, Shore retains precise systems of gestures in composition and light through which a hotel bedroom or a building on a side street assumes both an archetypal aura and an ambiguously personal importance. An essay by critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and a conversation with Shore by writer Lynne Tillman examine his methodology and elucidate his roots in Pop and Conceptual art. The texts are illustrated with reproductions from Shore's earlier series \"American Surfaces\" and \"Amarillo: Tall in Texas.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Aperture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49924390748455,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/7342\/5959\/files\/9781597113038.jpg?v=1744556394"},{"product_id":"stephen-shore-early-work-signed-copy","title":"Stephen Shore - Early Work Signed Copy","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte remove-empty-space\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe signed first edition is signed by Stephen Shore on the front flyleaf page of the book. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the age of six, Stephen Shore received a Kodak Darkroom kit, a gift that unearthed a passion and inquisitiveness that would go on to define his entire life.
