Overview

Will Vogt's remarkable photographs exploring the daily life of America's upper class. Behind the Hedges follows the sensational success of Will Vogt’s debut monograph, These Americans, and extends his inquiry into the American upper class. In this book, the excesses of youth have given way to the refined cadence of tradition. Vogt’s images draw power from their tension between proximity and distance, functioning as portraits of a class oriented toward preservation within a nation otherwise defined by reinvention. They depict a community adept at weathering change while maintaining its habit of self-reproduction.
