Park City (signed copy)

Albuquerque & New York: Artspace Press | Castelli Graphics, 1980.

Signed by Baltz to the titlepage. First Edition. Square hardback with the dust-jacket, very slightly rubbed at edges with a two inch scratch to front pane and quarter-inch closed tear to top edge of back panel. pp 246, 102 b&w photographic plates. A near fine copy in the excellent jacket, housed in clear, protective sleeve. Documentation of the construction of a ski resort and holiday home development east of Salt Lake City, Utah. With a long essay on Baltz's work by Gus Blaisdell. What strikes one about these photographs is their sheer brittle nature and the disassociation of the images from their surroundings. This is mainly due to the extraordinary harshness and clarity of the Park City's high altitude light.
