American Surfaces (Relié)

An updated edition of Shore's groundbreaking book, now with forty previously unpublished photographs, and a new introduction by Teju Cole. Stephen Shore's images from his travels across America in 1972-73 are considered the benchmark for documenting the extraordinary in the ordinary, and continue to influence photographers today. The original edition of American Surfaces, published by Phaidon in 2005, brought together 320 photographs sequenced in the order in which they were originally documented.
Now, fifty years after Shore embarked on his cross-country journey, the revised and expanded edition brings this seminal body of work back into focus.
