I Want This Fake New Topographics T-Shirt | 12.15.09

I want this shirt! Image and T-Shirt design © Blake Andrews

Blake Andrews recently executed a perfect “Triple Lindy” over at his blog B (Rumblings from the Photographic Hinterlands …) with this post on the current New Topographics (reunion?) (anniversary?) (smackdown?!?!) tour:

  1. Said of the New Topographics artists:  “To collect them all in a bunch back then is like having a rookie card with Williams, Dimaggio, Robinson, Mantle, Musial, and Satchel Paige all in one.” (In my review for the Eastman House leg of the tour, I wrote: “The roster of artists is amazing, akin to the line-ups of the New York Yankees of the 1920s.”)
  2. Offered images of the entire (and hyper-rare / expensive) original New Topographics exhibition catalog.
  3. Designed the above t-shirt, which I think might deserve life on CafePress (or some such one-off t-shirt store). I want it!
