Description
Quarries constitute one of the crucial necessary subjects in celebrated artist Edward Burtynsky’s photographic oeuvre. His images of the Vermont quarries, both active and abandoned, are specifically striking as artworks but additionally allude to the storied history of the northern New England marble and granite industry. This volume will feature Burtynsky’s photographs of those quarries, some reproduced for the primary time, inside of a geological and historical context that incorporates the affect of Italian stoneworkers upon the communities of Rutland and Barre.
