Robert Adams - Sea Stories


Robert Adams. North Beach Peninsula, Pacific County, Washington, ca. 2005.


The Yale University Art Gallery is planning two books of new work by Robert Adams: This Day and Sea Stories. Both will include photographs made over the last ten years near his home in Oregon. In an email from the gallery I learned that the books are planed for publication in the Spring of 2012. More about Sea Stories:

This publication presents Robert Adams’s latest major body of work, recently acquired by the Gallery. Designed as an artist’s book and culled from images made since the late 1990s, the publication traces the walking routes that Adams and his wife have taken regularly in the forests and along the shores near their home in coastal Oregon, where he has carefully observed the cycles of nature and the migration of birds.


There are more photographs from the projects at the gallery's site The Place We Live, a retrospective of Adams's work.
