Remarkably, despite having been the focus of numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between 1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors, and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound; how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore's unique vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432654848236,"sku":"9781597113885","price":140.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781597113885.jpg?v=1774556767"},{"product_id":"the-nature-of-photographs-by-stephen-shore-9780714859040","title":"The Nature of Photographs","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Shore explores ways of understanding photographs from all periods and all types – from iconic images to found photographs, from negatives to digital files. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Nature of Photographs\u003c\/span\u003e serves as an indispensable tool for students, teachers, and everyone who wants to take better pictures or learn to look at them in a more informed way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471816278252,"sku":"9780714859040","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/aae36b555e5990c69aa13478fec14b66.jpg?v=1775694702"},{"product_id":"factory-by-stephen-shore-9780714872742","title":"Factory","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFactory\u003c\/em\u003e showcases Warhol's Factory through the lens of a young Stephen Shore, providing an insider view of this extraordinary moment and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Shore was just 17 years old when he began frequenting The Factory—Andy Warhol's legendary studio in Manhattan.
