His photo series document the impact of industrial civilization on the landscape, focusing on places outside the bounds of canonical reception: urban wastelands, abandoned industrial sites, warehouses. Baltz’s strategies reflect a deep knowledge of the history of photography and present the photographer as a teacher of seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021001343216,"sku":"9783958292796","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783958292796_p0.jpg?v=1763762292","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783958292796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
