Reviews"Adams's work is an antidote . . . a lesson in caring about the places we live and the land we use, in all their failings and glory."-Aaron Rothman, Design Observer, "Judging from its three-volume catalog, the retrospective of the esteemed American photographer Robert Adams at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven is a stunning event."--Roberta Smith, New York Times, "Exquisite . . . a lasting testament to an extraordinary life's work."-Michael Mack, TIME ( Best Photobooks of 2011 ), "Judging from its three-volume catalog, the retrospective of the esteemed American photographer Robert Adams at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven is a stunning event."-Roberta Smith, New York Times, "A splendid retrospective exhibition . . . [that] surveys an oeuvre that is as compelling for its understated style as for its moral ferocity. . . . a beautiful three-volume catalog."-Ken Johnson, New York Times, "Adams's artistic ideal. . . has much in common with that of a certain sort of lyric poem, one that similarly has not the slightest room for carelessness of any sort. . . . I personally would have felt a lot better about the state of artistic culture in the 1970s and 1980s had I been aware of Adams's example."-Michael Fried, Bookforum, "[Adams's] photographs from the '60s, '70s, and early '80s, taken as a whole, are one of the great 20th-century American documents, in any medium, and he is among the few living artists, again in any medium, who deserve the title of American master."-Mark Feeney, Boston Globe, [Adams's] photographs, dating to the 1960s, feel amazingly prescient-often radical-today."-Martha Schwendener, New York Times, [Adams's] photographs, dating to the 1960s, feel amazingly prescient--often radical--today."--Martha Schwendener, New York Times, "A splendid retrospective exhibition . . . [that] surveys an oeuvre that is as compelling for its understated style as for its moral ferocity. . . . a beautiful three-volume catalog."--Ken Johnson, New York Times, "[Adams's] photographs from the '60s, '70s, and early '80s, taken as a whole, are one of the great 20th-century American documents, in any medium, and he is among the few living artists, again in any medium, who deserve the title of American master."--Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

SynopsisPhotographer Robert Adams (b. 1937) is widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential chroniclers of the American West, renowned for his austere views of a landscape profoundly changed by human development. This stunning three-volume set-printed with an unprecedented fidelity to the photographer's master prints-accompanies a major traveling exhibition and is the first publication to comprehensively survey Adams's 45-year career. Presenting an epic sequence of nearly 400 tritone plates, Robert Adams: The Place We Live features selections from all of Adams's major projects, including his seminal work in the suburbs of Colorado Springs and Denver and his most recent, elegiac portrayals of trees in the Pacific Northwest. Also included is an anthology of texts by the photographer, a series of critical essays on Adams's life and work, and an illustrated bibliography and chronology that will shed new light on one of the central American artists of our time., Photographer Robert Adams (b. 1937) is widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential chroniclers of the American West, renowned for his austere views of a landscape profoundly changed by human development.
