A group of three of Stephen Shore's artists' books produced using Apple's print-on-demand iPhoto software, all inscribed to Simon Lee, the gallerist who represented Shore in the UK.
Shore began making these books in the spring of 2003 and first exhibited them at 303 Gallery, New York, that Autumn. Each book is a visual record of Shore's activities on a given day. The first book, KT Ranch, is interesting as it features archive photographs, an example of work made before Shore defined the parameters of the project: initially photographs taken over one day, he later refined it to be photographs taken during the course of one day on days when the New York Times deemed it appropriate to print a full-width six-column headline on its front page.
The note laid in to Merry Christmas. Tivoli, NY December 2006 is regarding Shore's decision to leave Simon Lee Gallery.
