Biographical Landscape: the Photography of Stephen Shore August 21, 2007

Drawing largely from Stephen Shore's groundbreaking series 'Uncommon Places,' 'Biographical Landscape' presents 164 color prints from one of America's seminal photographers. In the 1970s, Shore set the standard for large-format color photography of the vernacular landscape that transformed the environment into evocative tableaus. The exhibition also features a selection from 'American Surfaces,' snapshots photographed on the road to Amarillo, Texas and early, rarely exhibited conceptual projects as well as examples from his recent iPhoto books. Groundbreaking three decades ago, this body of visual reportage on quiet places remains equally engaging today.
