Text engl. - Other edition: 60 copies issued with a photograph, each volume signed by Baltz. - Three hardcover volumes with dust jacket in a slipcase; each illustrated with rich reproductions of Baltz's work. Published for the first time The Tract Houses (1971) and his preliminary forays into a minimal aesthetic, as represented in the Prototype Works (1967 - 1976), illuminate Baltz´s drive to capture the reality of a sprawling Western ecology gone wild. Together with the New Industrial Parks near Irvine, CA, this trilogy reveals the indelible importance of Baltz in the changing course of contemporary photography.
