Reedition of the seminal “The new Industrial Parks Near Irvine, California”, 1974 book.
In the late 1960s and early ’70s Baltz became fascinated by the stark, repellent, manmade landscape that was rolling over California’s then still agrarian terrain. “The New Industrial Park near Irvine, California” is the best known of his projects on the subject. With this book Baltz took his place near the center of the New Topographics movement, a newly coined term emblematic of a cool, distanced, yet critical view of the emerging man-altered landscape. The New Topographics position, detached and glacial, has since widely influenced photographic practice. In “The New Industrial Park” Lewis Baltz deals with wide-ranging cultural and philosophical questions about industrial zones in the urban landscape. By focusing his attention on the familiar, Baltz created a powerful work in his critical photographic approach to the built environment.
