Edited by Lesley A. Martin. Designed by Murray & Sorrell FUEL. Near Fine (corners slightly bumped, not affecting text block). From the publisher: "Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places is indisputably a canonic body of workâ"a touchstone for those interested in photography and the American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between 1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors, and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound; how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore's unique vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series."

She has photographed rarely seen sites from domains including: science, government, medicine, entertainment, nature, security and religion.

Both volumes 27 x 15cm. Not issued together, but conforming in format. The main monograph, a paperback, 219pp, bound in titled blue wraps, is signed by Taryn Simon on the title page. The other volume is a more fragile white paperback, 99pp, in a glassine envelope with a bi-fold sheet of text which also contains the colophon. The signed blue paperback is the large authoritative documentation of the project published by Hatje Cantz in 2017. The accompanying white paperback is a more conceptual artist's book published a year later, commissioned and published by Artangel and Park Avenue Armory, containing reproductions of visa applications. 'An Occupation of Loss' is a detailed record of the artist's years researching professional mourning, which culminated in a seminal performance at the Park Avenue Armory in 2016. During the installation, professional mourners from around the world simultaneously broadcast their lamentations within a monumental sculptural setting, enacting rituals of grief. The installation combined performance, sound, and architecture to consider the anatomy of grief and the intricate systems we use to manage fate and uncertainty. The book leads the reader through the complicated visa application process for the mourners invited to enter the United States, revealing the underlying structures governing global exchange, the movement of bodies, and the hierarchies of art and culture. The blue paperback has slight staining to cover, otherwise internally good.
