Park City

“During 1978 and 1979 Lewis Baltz, one of America’s foremost contemporary photographers, undertook to document the building of a rapidly growing ski resort and second-home development east of Salt Lake City in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. His concern was to record the construction of Salt Lake City as an example of the urbanization of the American West” (text on cover flap). “Skeptical Landscapes”, an essay by Gus Blaisdell.
