{"product_id":"stephen-shore-uncommon-places-1982","title":"Uncommon Places — Stephen Shore, 1982, first edition with dust jacket","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"715\"\u003eOne of the most influential photobooks of the twentieth century, \u003cem data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"451\"\u003eUncommon Places\u003c\/em\u003e marked a turning point for colour photography and for the visual language of American space. Published in 1982 by Aperture, this is the scarce first edition hardcover with the original unclipped dust jacket — the definitive form of a book that changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003eWorking with a large-format view camera, Stephen Shore photographed anonymous intersections, motel rooms, signage, and city edges across 1970s America. What emerged was a new kind of photography: stripped of narrative, radiant in its clarity, formally precise and rooted in the banal. These are not decisive moments but sustained ones — quiet, frontal, and loaded with ambient unease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eThe maroon clothbound edition presented here features 61 colour plates across 64 pages, designed by Wendy Byrne and printed with early fidelity to Shore’s Kodachrome palette. As cited by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger in \u003cem data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eThe Photobook: A History Vol. 2\u003c\/em\u003e (p.35), it stands as a “fantastic, very important color photobook” — foundational to the New Topographics and the rise of colour as serious photographic form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1678\"\u003eThis copy retains the original dustjacket, complete and fresh with only minor sunning and faint exterior marks.
