Mimi Plumb: Blazing Light - Photography Monograph

Mimi Plumb: Blazing Light is a significant photography monograph published by Radius Books. This volume was created to coincide with the first solo museum exhibition of the same name held at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. The book brings together three major bodies of work by Plumb: The White Sky, Landfall and The Golden City, and The Reservoir. These collections work together to examine the anxieties of American life during the final years of the Cold War and the period that followed. Readers can explore Plumb's artistic journey starting from the 1970s, when she began photographing as a teenager in Walnut Creek, a suburb of San Francisco. Her early work captures a specific era marked by rapid land development and global political and economic instability. This book serves as a vital record of her photographic evolution and her perspective on a changing American landscape.
