Description
Edward Burtynsky: Extraction / Abstraction This comprehensive monograph presents the work of photographer Edward Burtynsky, spanning 45 years of his career. The book explores Burtynsky's unique approach to documenting large-scale extractive processes, transforming industrial landscapes into abstract forms. With over 130 color plates, the book features a range of Burtynsky's most significant images, including those from his "Process Archive," which showcases previously unpublished photographs of the artist at work. The archive provides a fascinating insight into Burtynsky's progression from mid-20th-century large-format cameras to 21st-century digital technologies. The book is published on the occasion of Burtynsky's largest and most comprehensive exhibition to date, held at the Saatchi Gallery in London. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the work of this influential photographer.
