Robert Adams, born in , came to prominence as part of the photographic movement known as New Topographics. His work has been widely exhibited both in Europe and the United States. Are there scenes in life, right now, for which we might conceivably be thankful? Is there a basis for joy or serenity, even if felt only occasionally? Are there grounds now and then for an unironic smile? Taken as a whole, this publication elucidates the photographer's civic goals: to consider the privilege of the place we were given and the obligations of citizenship.
Printed with an unprecedented fidelity to the photographer's original prints, volumes one and two reflect Adams' exacting, compelling sequence of nearly four hundred plates and bring together texts written by the photographer to accompany his photographic projects. Volume three offers a detailed chronology of Adams' life, an illustrated bibliography of his monographs, selections from his personal archive, and a series of critical essays on his work by Joshua Chuang, Tod Papageorge, Jock Reynolds and John Szarkowski.
Robert Adams, born in in New Jersey, first came to prominence in the early s. His work has been shown widely both in Europe and the United States, including in the landmark exhibition "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape". Steidl has published Gone?
