New Topographics 

New Topographics was an exhibition curated by William Jenkins held at the International Museum of Photography, Rochester, New York 1975. Jenkins brought together ten contemporary photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel Jr. singling the emergence of a new photographic style or movement towards landscape. The term ‘New Topographics’- more a conceptual gist than a precise adjective, is used to characterise the work of artists not yet born when the exhibition was held.
