Landscape Stories by Jem Southam
The sumptuous new monograph is the first comprehensive collection of Southam’s work published in the United States. The images are drawn from three completed series: “The Pond at Upton Pyne.” “The Red River,” and “Rockfalls, Rivermouths, and Ponds,” along with several smaller groups of pictures from series still in the making. Southam’s brief narratives about each site––together with essays by Gerry Badger and Andy Grundberg, which examine Southam’s work from European and American perspectives, respectively––create a rich context for viewing these remarkable, large-format photographs. Hardcover binding, 156 pages, 90 four-color plates.
A Blind Spot book, published by Princeton Architectural Press; $75.
The Painter's Pool
We are pleased to announce the publishing of Southam's newest book, by Nazraeli Press. Case-bound and beautifully printed, it contains 36 sumptuous illustrations from this body of work, with essays by Southam and Christopher Cook. Over several years, Southam photographed an intervention in a tiny patch of dense ancient woods in southwest England by the painter Mike Garton.
