| The influential exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape curated by William Jenkins opens at the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York. The works of Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel Jr. all shifted the way that landscape photography is conceived to preserve and record the actual landscape of buildings, suburbs and urbanization rather than pristine views. |
