Description: Stephen Shore Uncommon Places Original 1982 HARDCOVER Edition Uncommon Places. Photographs by Stephen Shore. Aperture/ A New Images Book, Millerton, New York, 1982. First edition. Oblong quarto. Hardcover in photo-illustrated dust jacket. 61 color reproductions. An outstanding book of fifty-five perfectly observed photographs of contemporary America presented in flawless color. On the rear cover the architect Robert Venturi sums up Stephen Shore's talent in the following way: "Shore's is the art of the deadpan - rejecting exotic composition, artful editing, or facile simplification. He accepts the threadbare banality of the American scene, the jerry-rigged, down-at-the-heels seediness of our rural landscapes and the spatial looseness of our towns, recapturing the over familiar, making it poignant, coherent, and almost lovable." The photographs were taken on travels from Maine to Florida to Montana between 1973 and 1981. Among the most beautifully printed color monographs. Very good in a very good dust jacket. The boards are clean with light wear. Ding to side edge front board. The dust jacket shows light wear. Sunning to the spine. Vertical crease along the DJ spine. Semi-circular crease to the head of the DJ spine. Tiny right angle crease to the DJ front flap upper right hand corner. Not price clipped. Internally, a spot of foxing to the half title page and to the title page. Hint of tanning to page edges. Clean and crisp photographs. Tight binding. Unmarked. Uncommon hardcover original 1982 edition with the dust jacket. Stunning photographs. A great copy.
