Stephen Shore

G/P gallery is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition of the master of American photography Stephen Shore. Stephen Shore was born in 1947, in New York. After spending his youth with the members of Andy Warhol's Factory, Shore is now one of the most prominent exponents of 'New Colour Photography' along with William Eggleston. His work has had a significant influence upon contemporary photography.

This exhibition will present Shore's latest project, with which he has been keenly experimenting since 2003. Shore has been making 80 artist books using Apple's iPhoto program. The books evidence the artist's very conceptual approach - the 'on-demand' printing service allows the artist to re-examine and reprise his well-known pieces in a book format. The New York Metropolitan Museum has started stocking all books in this series. G/P gallery will present 10 of the books for the first time in Japan. Each book is part of an edition of 20, and will be available for purchase.
