Revisiting the exhibition that defined a generation of photography, through a meticulous reimagining of the original catalog
In his introduction to the exhibition catalog for New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, held in 1975 at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography in Rochester, NY, curator William Jenkins described the black-and-white images he selected as reduced to an essentially topographic state, conveying substantial amounts of information but eschewing entirely the aspects of beauty, emotion and opinion. The exhibition brought together 10 photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel Jr.
In this vital reassessment of the exhibition that started it all, curator Britt Salvesen reintroduces the work of these 10 photographers and traces the legacy of their work over the last 50 years. Illustrated with selected works from the 1975 exhibition, installation views and contextual comparisons, the book also includes an illustrated checklist of the show and an extensive bibliography.
