A poetic and exquisitely produced clothbound monograph personally conceived by photographer Stephen Shore
Stephen Shore: Elements is inspired by the Eakins Press Foundation’s celebrated debut publication, Walker Evans’ Message from the Interior (1966), gathering images from across Evans’ career. As with that book, the photographs of Stephen Shore (born 1947) have been carefully selected to represent the poetry of his approach to the world through photographs. The 24 images (16 color and 8 black and white), from the last of his work with the 8x10" view camera, range in location from New York’s Hudson Valley to the Yucatan, Italy, Texas, Israel and Scotland. As the book’s title suggests, what connects these photographs are the elemental resonances of the earth, humanity and time.
From his early days as a teenager at Andy Warhol’s Factory and his 1971 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (at the time only the second one-person show the museum had ever mounted of a photographer) to his celebrated Uncommon Places (1982), to his current pioneering use of social media platforms and print-on-demand books, Shore has not for a moment let up on his mission to challenge the norms of the photographic medium.
In Stephen Shore: Elements, the Eakins Press Foundation extends its historically important embrace of work by individual artists that represents the highest standard of human achievement in our society.
摄影师斯蒂芬·肖尔亲自构思的一部富有诗意且制作精美的精装专著
Stephen Shore: Elements的灵感来自Eakins Press Foundation的著名处女作《Walker Evans’Message from the Interior 》( 1966 ),收集了Evans职业生涯中的照片。和那本书一样,斯蒂芬·肖尔(生于1947年)的照片是经过精心挑选的,用来表现他通过照片接触世界的方式。这24张照片(16张彩色照片和8张黑白照片)是他用8x10英寸取景相机拍摄的最后一张照片,拍摄地点从纽约的哈德逊谷到尤卡坦半岛、意大利、德克萨斯、以色列和苏格兰。正如书名所示,将这些照片联系在一起的是地球、人类和时间的基本共鸣。
