Lot Essay
Marland Street, Hobbs, New Mexico, February 19, 1975, highlights a central motif of the car culture recorded by Shore: the sign. 'Shore’s photographs, particularly those from the 1970s are as much to be read as to be looked at,' Quentin Bajac, Chief Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, states in reference to the prevalence of signage in Uncommon Places (Stephen Shore, p. 210). Designed to be brief and eye catching, the signs of Shore’s landscapes occur as ostentatious flashes of aesthetic activity within otherwise restrained configurations.
