Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shore’s legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take colour beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, Shore’s large-format colour 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 is the definitive collection of this landmark series. 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.
Lynne Tillman is a prolific author and journalist. Among her books are Haunted Houses, Case in Doubt, Motion Sickness and No Lease on Life.
Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen has been the rector of the Art Academy in Vienna since 2002.
