Quiet Eccentricities: The Vernacular Seen

By Lewis Koch

A reconsideration of Lewis Koch's seminal photographic work on vernacular architecture, Quiet Eccentricities: The Vernacular Seen presents mostly unpublished work made for a National Endowment for the Arts Photography Survey project which took place in southern Wisconsin, in the early 1980s. In addition to a key selection of the original images, an essay by curator and art historian Lisa Stone examines Koch's photographs of commonplace structures in relation to his early work which preceded the NEA project, and the later work which it in turn inspired.
