Stephen Shore and Jeff Rosenheim
discuss the art of Bernd & Hilla Becher


Stephen Shore has spent his career as an artist and educator thinking about vernacular traditions. He knew the artists Bernd and Hilla Becher personally and even showed alongside them in the 1975 landmark exhibition New Topographics. Join Shore and acclaimed guest speaker Jeff L. Rosenheim, Joyce Frank Menschel Curator in Charge of the Department of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for a lively conversation about the Bechers, the power of the vernacular, and its role in the development of the medium. Shore’s recent books will be available for purchase and signing following the talk.

The New Yorker


Back in 2021, The New Yorker’s late art critic Peter Schjeldahl conducted an email interview with Stephen Shore following the release of Stephen’s book “Steel Town” (MACK). We are excited to finally be able to share this interview on the heels of his new publication “Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape.” (MACK).

In this compelling conversation, Stephen speaks about his journey as a photographer and the development of an artistic process. “For five decades, Stephen Shore has remade our vision of the country, largely by remaking his own”.

We invite you to read the full interview HERE.

Rizzoli Bookstore presents:
Stephen Shore and Michael Mack in Conversation


Part formalistic, part voyeuristic, these images of dirt roads, warehouses, cemeteries, and tract homes—identified merely by their longitude and latitude—reveal the beauty in the form and function of flyover country.’ James Panero on ‘Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape’ for @newcriterion

To celebrate the launch of his new book, Stephen Shore will be in conversation with Michael Mack for an expansive conversation about photography and bookmaking. ⁠

During this talk, they will discuss the ways an artist can continue to reinvigorate and challenge their artistic practice; Shore’s recent inquiries into drone technology and its relationship to New Topographics; and the making of Shore’s experimental memoir ‘Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography’.⁠

Thursday 23 February⁠

FORTHCOMING FEBRUARY 2023

TOPOGRAPHIES: AERIAL SURVEYS OF THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE
Stephen Shore


Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape presents the latest body of work from Stephen Shore: a series of photographs shot by drone from 2020 onwards, which reveal in arresting detail the interplay of natural and man-made landscapes in Montana, North Carolina, New York, and beyond.

In this new body of work, Shore revisits the original ambitions of the renowned 1975 exhibition ‘New Topographics’, using a new aerial viewpoint to consider afresh the concerns of the movement – the objective, the commonplace, and the relationship of the natural and man-made in the American landscape – reflecting on how these might be applied in the twenty-first century.

As much as exploring the formal possibilities of the aerial photograph, Topographies displays a glorious dedication to detail and surprise, in which the slightest bend of a river or turn of a shadow uncovers the textures and colours of America’s urban and suburban landscapes, all investigated with Shore’s signature rigour.

With essays by Noah Chasin and Richard B. Woodward
