✦内容简介——

通过对原始目录的细致重新构想，重新审视定义了一代摄影的展览

1975年在纽约罗切斯特的乔治·伊士曼国际摄影博物馆举办的《新地形学:人为改变景观的照片》展览目录介绍中，策展人威廉·詹金斯(William Jenkins)将他选择的黑白图像描述为“本质上被简化为地形状态，传达了大量的信息，但完全避开了美、情感和观点的方面。”这次展览汇集了10位摄影师:罗伯特·亚当斯、刘易斯·巴尔茨、贝恩德和希拉·贝彻、乔·迪尔、弗兰克·戈尔克、尼古拉斯·尼克松、约翰·肖特、斯蒂芬·肖尔和小亨利·韦塞尔。

这次展览标志着一种新的景观方式的出现，有效地为一场运动起了名字。即使在今天，“新地形学”的概念也被用来描述展览举办时尚未出生的艺术家的作品。“新地形学”从此被理解为标志着范式的转变。这次展览的举办正值摄影在当代艺术界占据一席之地。“新地形学”可以说是一种传统摄影风格，也是一种摄影概念风格。

策展人布里特·萨尔文森(Britt Salvesen)在这次对展览的重新评估中，重新介绍了这10位摄影师的作品，并追溯了他们在过去50年里的作品遗产。书中附有1975年展览的精选作品，装置视图和背景比较，书中还包括展览的插图清单和广泛的参考书目。

Revisiting the exhibition that defined a generation of photography, through a meticulous reimagining of the original catalog

In his introduction to the exhibition catalog for New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, held in 1975 at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography in Rochester, NY, curator William Jenkins described the black-and-white images he selected as “reduced to an essentially topographic state, conveying substantial amounts of information but eschewing entirely the aspects of beauty, emotion and opinion.” The exhibition brought together 10 photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel Jr.

Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, the show effectively gave a name to a movement. Even today, the concept of “New Topographics” is used to characterize the work of artists not yet born when the exhibition was held. “New Topographics” has since come to be understood as marking a paradigm shift. The show occurred just as photography took its place within the contemporary art world. Arguably the last traditionally photographic style, “New Topographics” was also the first photoconceptual style.

In this vital reassessment of the exhibition that started it all, curator Britt Salvesen reintroduces the work of these 10 photographers and traces the legacy of their work over the last 50 years. Illustrated with selected works from the 1975 exhibition, installation views and contextual comparisons, the book also includes an illustrated checklist of the show and an extensive bibliography.
