Stephen Shore’s photographic strategy in Selected Works, 1973–1981 focuses on the everyday American landscape with direct, unembellished compositions. The images reveal a consistent visual investigation of color, light, and mundane environments from this pivotal decade, emphasizing the overlooked details of ordinary life.

The book assembles works from a critical period in Shore’s career, highlighting his use of color photography during a time when it was still emerging as a serious artistic medium. Shore’s methodical, documentary approach captures a layered, nuanced portrayal of the cultural and physical topography of the 1970s and early 1980s.

Published by Aperture in 2017, the 264-page volume offers a comprehensive view of Shore’s early explorations that helped shape contemporary photographic practice.
