Summary

"In 1974, Stephen Shore purchased a Stereo Realist--a camera that created stereographic color transparencies, resulting in images that could be viewed in 3-D. Similar to nineteenth-century experimentation in stereo cards and the recently popularized View-Master toys, these images offer a simulacrum of three-dimensional space via the two-dimensional image. The thirty images presented exclusively in this limited-edition stereograph are the result of Shore's engagement with the puzzle of how to most effectively translate the real world into a successful '3-D' image given the particulars of the technology. 'I was interested in seeking out situations in which the camera was doing something different from how our eyes see things: reflections, windows, a shadow on a chain-link fence, a rug that seems to float off the ground--each scenario created this amazing sense of space.' Fifteen of the resulting images were shown in a 1975 exhibition at Light Gallery. This set of thirty images has only been seen publicly once before, at Shore's 2017-18 MoMA survey"--
