For forty-five years, Jeffrey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an extensive body of work. With a background in the fine arts and the American photographic tradition, Silverthorne developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and staged scenes.

His work is in the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum; Yale University Art Gallery; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; George Eastman House, Rochester; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

This book not only shows an overview of the artist's diverse visual languages, but also a wide range of unseen series.
