The Biographical Landscape: The Photography of Stephen Shore, 1968–1993 presented a rare opportunity to study the rich color prints and photographic projects of one of the most influential American photographers of the last half-century. At the heart of the exhibition was Uncommon Places, Shore’s quintessential series on the American vernacular landscape, photographed between 1973 and 1982. The Biographical Landscape illuminated the evolution of Shore’s articulate and groundbreaking use of large format photography as well as his great contributions to photography in the late 20th century.
