Park City
Publication: Albuquerque and New York: Artspace Press and Castelli Graphics, 1980. First edition.
Notes: One of 3,000 copies of the first edition of Baltz's influential documentation of Park City's transformation
Illustrated with 102 black-and-white photographic plates, this monograph chronicles Park City, Utah, during its development as a ski resort in the late 1970s. The photographs, accompanied by Gus Blaisdell's critical essay, capture the stark transformation of the former mining town into a recreational destination. This work stands as a key example of the New Topographics movement, documenting the changing American Western landscape with Baltz's characteristic emphasis on development's impact on the natural environment.
