Park City

description

Monograph of photographs by Lewis Baltz with essay by Gus Blaisdell. "During 1978 and 1979 Lewis Baltz, one of America's foremost contemporary photographers, undertook to document the building of a rapidly growing ski resort and second-home development east of Salt Lake City in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. His concern was to record the construction of Park City as an example of the urbanization of the American West. What Baltz first saw the landscape around Park City, it appeared utterly chaotic, devastated by decades of abuse and neglect... During the two and one half years that Baltz photographed Park City, the wasteland was covered with houses and commercial structures; ironically these only increased the sense of starkness and desolation." -- publisher's statement.
