Andrew Moore: Blue Alabama

Description

Andrew Moore's new book, Blue Alabama, focuses on the American South, depicts the economic, social and cultural divisions that characterize the South and the love of history, tradition and land that binds its citizens. Following upon in-depth explorations of the economically ravaged city of Detroit (2007 - 2009) and the mythic high plains region along the 100th Meridian (2011 - 2014), Blue Alabama continues the artist's investigation of "the inner empire" of the United States.

Moore's photographs have been acquired by numerous museums in the United States and internationally, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Library of Congress, the Israel Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, and the Detroit Institute of Arts, among others. This new book will be his seventh monograph, alongside Inside Havana (2002, Chronicle), Russia (2005, Chronicle), Detroit Disassembled (2010, Damiani), and Cuba (2012, Damiani) and Dirt Meridian (2015).

Blue Alabama is the type of work I daydream I'd be doing if I'd never left the South...This book is full of beautiful people, interiors and landscapes that the Lord may have sent his way.--Todd Cooper "Eugene Weekly"
