Stephen Shore will talk about Early Work which collects for the first time the entirely unseen photographs. A book signing will follow.About this Event
At 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. Shore began to develop a unique relationship to the chemical alchemy of the darkroom and to the camera itself: a tool through which he would uncover the characters and complexities of the world around him.The sophisticated and ambitious images in EARLY WORK demonstrate Shore's already-complex understanding of the photographic form, and the particular attention with which he approached his surroundings. Includes a foreword by Martin Scorsese and a new essay by Stephen Shore
Stephen Shore's work has been widely published and exhibited for the past forty-five years. At age twenty-three, he was the first living photographer to have a solo show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since Alfred Stieglitz, forty years earlier. More than twenty-five books have been published of Stephen Shore's photographs including Uncommon Places: The Complete Works (1982) and American Surfaces (1972); works which are now considered important milestones in photographic history. Shore is represented by 303 Gallery (New York) and Spru¨th Magers (London and Berlin).
