Holden Street, North Adams, Massachusetts, July 13, 1974

Holden Street, North Adams, Massachusetts, July 13, 1974 “Holden Street, North Adams, Massachusetts was the image used on the cover of the first, 1982 edition of Uncommon Places. Not only was Uncommon Places my first book; it was the first monograph in color that Aperture published. That was forty years ago. The book was an early milestone in my career. I cannot begin to express how indebted I am to Aperture for this.” —Stephen Shore This image is featured on the cover of the first edition of Uncommon Places, published by Aperture in 1982. © Stephen Shore In celebration of Aperture’s seventieth anniversary, we are pleased to offer this limited-edition print as part of the seventy x seventy print sale.

Stephen Shore (born in New York, 1947) has had a significant influence on multiple generations of artists and photographers: his Aperture classic Uncommon Places (1982; expanded and revised, 2004 and 2015) is indisputably a canonic body of work—a touchstone for those interested in photography and the American landscape. At the age of fourteen, Shore had his work purchased by Edward Steichen for the Museum of Modern Art. At seventeen, he was a regular at Andy Warhol’s Factory, producing an important photographic document of the scene; and in 1971, at the age of twenty-four, he became the first living photographer since Alfred Stieglitz (forty years earlier) to have a solo show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among his other Aperture publications are Stephen Shore: Survey (2014) and Stephen Shore: Selected Works, 1973–1981 (2017). Since 1982, he has been director of the photography program at Bard College.
