Synopsis

Retrospective survey of the life work of American photographer Jeffrey Silverthorne (1946-2022)
This book accompanies the first retrospective survey of this American artist. For 45 years, Jeffrey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an extensive body of work. With a background in the Fine Arts and the American photographic tradition, Harry Callahan and Edward Weston, Silverthorne developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and staged scenes.
