A classic Adams depiction of ecological devastation in a greatly expanded slipcased edition

Having lived in Southern California during his university years, Robert Adams (born 1937) returned to photograph the Los Angeles Basin in the late 1970s and early 1980s, concentrating on what was left of the citrus groves, eucalyptus and palm trees that once flourished in the area. The pictures, while foreboding, testify to a verdancy against the odds. Featuring sumptuous quadratone plates, this greatly expanded and revised edition of a title originally published in 1986 reinvigorates one of Adams’ most influential and admired bodies of work.

“The Los Angeles he reveals here abounds in attenuated beauty, with eucalyptus, palm and orange trees holding out against the forces of asphalt and concrete. As in all of Mr. Adams’ work, the pictures have an idiosyncratic beauty and they serve as partial solace for the disharmonies they depict.” –Andy Grundberg, New York Times Book Review

The original Los Angeles Spring is one of my favourite of Robert Adams books and a great influence on my own photographic practice and this new edition is a stunning upgrade on the original. Printed on heavyweight paper, the images are much improved, shadows are opened up and there is a far better rendition of the highlight areas, subtle cloud detailing has appeared in many formerly blank skies. There are a number of new images in the book but this seems to be at the expense of others from the original book. No explanation is given for this but it has led to a different sequencing from the original and some might be concerned about this and whilst I do have reservations about this, the quality of the new book surpasses these concerns. Short of seeing Adams' original prints, this new publication is by far the best way to see his images.
