About this Item
Mack Books, London. 2022. First edition, first printing. Fantastic publication - signed by Stephen Shore."Shore`s work has been a personal inspiration from my earliest interaction with it. With Modern Instances, I am humbled to have his profound insight into the rigorous over-thinking that made it possible. This insight, delivered with such clarity, grace, and humility, will no doubt affect how you make or appreciate photographs - it might even alter how you see." (David Fincher) "Shore`s memoir is as riveting as it is illuminating - an almost deceptively seamless narrative of experiences, associations, correspondences, images, and remarkable erudition that testify to the mind`s eye through which, from the beginning of his career, Shore has transformed the seemingly spontaneous configurations of his photography into profound works of art." (Jane Kramer) New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher`s plastic foil. Silkscreen printed linen hardcover. 170 x 245 mm. 224 pages. Text in english. Wonderful Stephen Shore publication! Perfect condition! Signed by the artist! Collector`s copy! The signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover. "Modern Instances is like a conversation among friends. It reveals a deeply inquiring mind, and renders making photographs, and looking at them, one of the most exciting and humane of pursuits." (Sandra Phillips) "Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life." (Giorgio de Chirico) "Stephen Shore`s Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography is an experimental new memoir from one of the world`s most prolific artists - an impressionistic scrapbook that documents the rich and surprising touchstones that make up over half a century of ground-breaking work. With essays, photographs, stories, and excerpts that draw on Shore`s decades of teaching, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in learning more about mastering one`s craft and the distinct threads that come together to inform a creative voice. As much as offering meditation on the influences of a single artist, Modern Instances proposes a new way of thinking about the world around us, in which even the smallest moment can become a source of boundless inspiration - if only we pay attention."(from the publisher)***************Mack Books, London. 2022.
