About the book An updated edition of Shore's groundbreaking book, now with previously unpublished photographs and a new introduction Stephen Shore's images from his travels across America in 1972-73 are considered the benchmark for documenting the extraordinary in the ordinary and continue to influence photographers today. The original edition of American Surfaces, published by Phaidon in 2005, brought together 320 photographs sequenced in the order in which they were originally documented. Now, in the age of Instagram and nearly 50 years after Shore embarked on his cross-country journey, this revised and expanded edition will bring this seminal work back into focus. About the author Stephen Shore is one of the most influential living photographers. His photographs from the 1970s, taken on road trips across America, established him as a pioneer in the use of color in art photography. He is director of the photography program at Bard College, New York. Teju Cole is a novelist, photographer, critic, curator, and author. He is the Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing at Harvard.

Phaidon was founded in Vienna by Dr. Béla Horovitz, Frederick 'Fritz' Ungar, and Ludwig Goldschneider. Their vision was to create elegantly produced, accessibly priced art books – something that had not been done before. Today, Phaidon is the leading global publisher of the creative arts with over 1,500 titles in print. We work with the world’s most influential artists, chefs, writers, and thinkers to produce innovative books on art, photography, design, architecture, fashion, food, and travel, and illustrated books for children. In 2014, Phaidon welcomed Artspace, and, in 2020, the prestigious publishing house Monacelli. A century after Phaidon’s foundation, one thing hasn't changed: the belief that books should enlighten, delight, and inspire.
