Quincy is an artist book that gives immediate insight into Carl Andre's development as a sculptor. In place of an exhibition catalog for his 1973 solo show at the Addison Gallery, Andre hired a commercial photographer to document landscapes of his hometown, Quincy, Massachusetts. The stark black-and-white photographs show the scenes and raw materials that inspired much of his work. The cover is a photograph of a granite gravestone engraved ANDRE standing in snow with a cemetery behind it, and the pages shown online include a snowy quarry strewn with fallen blocks of stone and a snow-covered wood with piled logs.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
