Early Works: Three-Volume Set

By Lewis Baltz

With his iconic, minimalist photos of suburban landscapes, Lewis Baltz is considered the founder of the New Topographics movement. Reproduced for the first time, his earliest portfolio, The Tract Houses (Vol.1), and his preliminary forays into a minimal aesthetic, The Prototype Works (Vol.2), illuminate Baltz’s drive to capture the reality of a sprawling Western ecology gone wild. Together as a trilogy with The New Industrial Parks Near Irvine, California (Vol. 3), these Early Works reveal Baltz’s indelible importance in the development of contemporary photography.

A Special Edition set that includes an archival, digital print of element No. 27 from The New Industrial Parks portfolio is also available. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. This is limited to 55 copies.
