Selected images from Park City
Renowned for his cool, detached aesthetic, Lewis Baltz presents a series of ten gelatin silver prints documenting the construction and development of Park City, Utah, a ski resort built in the 1970s. The images capture the stark, often bleak intersection of industrial progress and the natural landscape, revealing the scarred terrain, skeletal structures, and raw materials that characterize speculative development. Published by Castelli Graphics in 1980, the work exemplifies Baltz's New Topographics sensibility, using precise, unembellished black-and-white photography to offer a quietly critical examination of American land use and suburban expansion.
