Zander Galerie is delighted to present an exhibition of seminal early work by Lewis Baltz from the 1960s and 1970s, showcasing his landmark serial work The New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California and selected photographs from The Prototype Works.
Lewis Baltz's work describes landscapes created as epiphenomena of a post-industrial society. Born in 1945 in Newport Beach, California, he experienced the rapid development of the technology and leisure industries and the suburban expansion in the American West. His aesthetic is cleanly composed and detached. Focusing not on the particular or idiosyncratic but on generic forms of appearance, Baltz uses photography as a tool to reflect on socio-economic structures and critically expand the documentary discourse. His redefinition of landscape photography was instrumental in conceptual photography, taking its place among other media in contemporary art.
