The new Industrial Parks near Irvine, California
Comprising 51 stark black and white photographs, Lewis Baltz's seminal work documents the anonymous, austere architecture of industrial developments near Irvine, California, reducing corporate structures to their most minimal geometric forms. The photographs capture blank walls, empty lots, and featureless facades with a cool, detached precision that critiques postwar American suburban expansion and the encroachment of industrial development on the landscape. Presented in a gray cloth-bound volume with a photo-illustrated dust jacket, this artist-signed edition stands as a landmark of New Topographics photography.
