The original edition of <i>American Surfaces</i>, published by Phaidon in 2005, brought together 320 photographs sequenced in the order in which they were originally documented. Now, in the age of Instagram and nearly 50 years after Shore embarked on his cross-country journey, this revised and expanded edition will bring this seminal work back into focus.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Numbed by Instagram? Might we suggest a flick through this coffee-table tome as a welcome distraction... His photographs sing of freedom and come with a side serving of a seemingly utopian Americana past - think white picket fences and short stack pancakes. Sometimes all it takes is a picture of a shiny muscle car outside a Texaco gas station. --<i>The Sunday Times STYLE</i></p><p>A chronicler of ordinary life in the 70s.--<i>The Observer New Review</i></p><p>Shore has now added yet more work to this updated volume... seminal.--<i>Robb Report</i></p><p>In Shore's world, the very act of photographing an object makes that object a point of interest, and within that point of interest lies an inherent beauty.--<i>Amateur Photographer</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Stephen Shore</b> is one of the most influential living photographers.
