This book is dedicated to the exhibition “New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape,” held in 1975 at the International Museum of Photography, and demonstrates both the historical significance of the show and its continued relevance in today’s culture. The exhibition brought together 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 catchphrase “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 photo-conceptual style. 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.

This was the book that changed everything for me when I came across it in my art college library back in 1977. Even today, this book and the works contained are still fresh, exciting and relevant. Long out of print (and currently expensive), I see that it's being reprinted in January, 2025.

A lot of these photographers influenced me too, when I saw them. When I was a naive art school student, I hadn't heard of any of these guys. It was fulfilling to me that what I liked to take photos of- less than glamorous things- were as valid as other traditional photos, and that my worked echoed some of these guys.
