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.
