Find photobooks by the New Topographics photographers, including Robert Adams, The Bechers, Frank Gohlke, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore, and Henry Wessel. 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.

CCP Director, Dr. Britt Salvesen, and the curator of photographs a. Britt Salvesen, and the curator of photographs at. George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, D. While references to New Topographics-the exhibition and the style-abound in photographic practices, exhibitions, and histories, the show’s initial reception and subsequent effects have yet to be carefully analyzed. The influence of New Topographics can be best understood by looking again at the original pictures and the circumstances in which the 10 artists were brought together. Also featured is an essay by Nordström outlining the significance of New Topographics in Eastman House’s history and influence on photographic history to date.

The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape was one of those rare exhibitions that permanently alters how an art form is perceived. Held at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, in January 1975, it was curated by William Jenkins, who brought together ten contemporary photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel, Jr. Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, the show effectively gave a name to a movement or style, although even today, the term "New Topographics"--more a conceptual gist than a precise adjective--is used to characterize the work of artists not yet born when the exhibition was held. Although the exhibit's ambitions were hardly so grand, New Topographics has since come to be understood as marking a paradigm shift, for the show occurred just as photography ceased to be an isolated, self-defined practice and took its place within the contemporary art world. Arguably the last traditionally photographic style, New Topographics was also the first Photoconceptual style. In different ways, the artists thoughtfully engaged with their medium and its history, while simultaneously absorbing such issues as environmentalism, capitalism and national identity. In this vital reassessment of the genre, essays by Britt Salvesen and Alison Nordström accompany illustrations of selected works from the 1975 exhibition, with installation views and contextual comparisons, to demonstrate both the historical significance of New Topographics and its continued relevance today. The book also includes an illustrated checklist of the 1975 exhibition and an extensive bibliography.

Shak

A wonderful collection of a type of photography, with a relevant and contemporary attitude.

The origin of photography of man-altered landscape. Truely amazing. More than 30 years already passed, but still remains relevant today.

I think Steidl are to congratulated on publishing a beautiful overview of the ground-breaking 1975 New Topographics photo show and the book complements the current touring exhibition (from June 2009 to January 2012).

The 304 pages are basically in three sections: two essays; portfolio from the ten photographers and finally a review of the original New Topographics catalog. Of the two essays Britt Salvesen's is remarkably comprehensive (fifty-nine illustrated pages, including nine of notes) and she places the photos in the context of the times and then Alison Nordstrom writes about the Topographic genre from 1975 to now. Included in her essay are a couple of photos of the original exhibit and I was intrigued to see that the framed photos weren't that big, actually not much larger than this book. Incidentally some of the actual prints from the original show are being used in the current tour.

The portfolio section presents a selection of images from the ten photographers: Adams 15; Baltz 18; the Becher's 5; Deal 14; Gohlke 13; Nixon 15; Schott 15; Shore 7 (the only ones in color) and Wessel 13. Each photo is centered on the page with a caption below and printed in a 175 screen with spot varnish and they do look a treat. The cityscape work of Nicholas Nixon I thought especially stunning. John Schott's selection is from his `Route 66 Motels' work and it seems his camera style must have influenced plenty of contemporary photographers who specialize in freeway America.

The last fifty-eight pages is fascinating because the original forty-eight page exhibition catalog is reproduced (with two, just readable, spreads to a page) followed by a checklist of the 169 photos in the show with captions. Some of these photos are shown large in the portfolio section but I was rather disappointed that they weren't printed bigger than thumbnails; there is plenty of page space after all.

As I said earlier I think Steidl have published a wonderful book about a significant photo event from the last century and very comparable in editorial thoroughness to their stunning Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans, Expanded Edition they published last year. Both books must surely be the gold standard about their subjects.

Great book if you like this sort of subject matter, and I happen to!

So yea 5 stars for the book but I post to remind y'all it ain't outa print! I just got a brand new copy for $60 from the Center for Creative Photogaphy in Tucson. Give them a call and heck with these jerks asking $150+

I'm not going to add much. It's a great book, well bound and most of the images are pretty good but the printing looks a bit faded out on some. Perhaps that's how the originals were.

Hundreds of images and so far great essay! This is the definitive statement on New topographics, 'nuff said
