Stephen Shore's work has been widely published and exhibited for the past forty years. He was the second living photographer to have a one-man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He has also had one-man shows at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; International Center of Photography, New York; George Eastman House, Rochester; Kunsthalle, Dusseldorf; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Jeu de Paume, Paris; and Art Institute of Chicago and has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
His series of exhibitions at Light Gallery in New York in the early 1970s sparked new interest in color photography and in the use of the view camera for documentary work. Books of his photographs include Uncommon Places; Stephen Shore: Photographs 1973 - 1993; The Velvet Years, Andy Warhol's Factory, 1965 – 1967; Essex County; American Surfaces; Stephen Shore, a career survey in Phaidon’s Contemporary Artists Series; A Road Trip Journal; and, most recently, The Hudson Valley. Finally there is The Nature of Photographs, a book in which he explores how photographs function visually.
Shore's work is represented by 303 Gallery, New York; and Sprüth Magers, Berlin and London. Since 1982 he has been the director of the Photography Program at Bard College in New York State, where he is the Susan Weber Professor in the Arts.
