New Book of Stephen Shore’s Early Photography Featured in the Los Angeles Review of Books
Photography Program Director and Susan Weber Professor in the Arts Stephen Shore.
A compilation of early works by Stephen Shore, Photography Program director and Susan Weber Professor in the Arts at Bard College, has been reviewed in the Los Angeles Review of Books. Early Work focuses on Shore’s previously unseen black-and-white photography of New York in the 1960s, a period during his teenage years that precedes his time working with Andy Warhol at the artist studio The Factory. In this collection of photos, “we observe his earliest experiments, a period of precocious self-determination that sets his career in motion,” writes Rowland Bagnall for the Review. Shore describes how he used these years to develop a technical fluency in the medium: “I learned to see in black and white. The result of these years of experimentation was that I didn’t have to think about technique. It became second nature; it was already assimilated.”
