The first of Blind Spot's Series books, this exquisitely produced clothbound artist's book with tipped-on cover image collects 34 color photographs of New York's Hudson Valley by the pioneering American art photographer Stephen Shore (born 1947). Shore, one of America's most important living photographers, is celebrated, alongside William Eggleston, for elevating color photography from a medium associated with family snapshots to a genre equivalent to black-and-white photography. First published in 2011, this deluxe volume, printed by Meridian--widely considered America's greatest photobook printer--was named one of Photoeye's Best Books of the Year by critic Gerry Badger, who writes, "Stephen Shore is the master of the 'quiet' photograph, images which paradoxically speak more than most. These images of the Hudson Valley are quietly and utterly satisfying." This highly collectible volume is available in limited quantities.

Blind Spot Series

In 2011, Blind Spot magazine launched Blind Spot Series, publishing small-format, limited-run artist’s books that present concise suites of images from single bodies of work by important contemporary artist-photographers. The newest in this series is Los Angeles–based Uta Barth’s stunning To Draw with Light, featuring 46 color photographs from the acclaimed . . . and to draw a bright white line with light and Compositions of Light on White series (recently exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1301PE in Los Angeles and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York) alongside new works created specifically for the book. According to essayist Paul Soto’s recent review in Art in America, these works are especially remarkable because they include, for the first time, traces of the artist’s body as she arranges the elements within her photographs--the gauzy curtains in front of her sundrenched windowsill, or the light which projects through her window blinds to create floating geometric monochromes upon her closet doors.
