After the gold rush.
For After the Gold Rush, London-based Jeremy Deller embarked on a voyage of discovery through California. His book is a lavishly illustrated, idiosyncratic, highly personal guide, organized around a five-stop tour, which begins in Oakland and ends in the Mojave Desert town of Trona.
Along the way, we meet Alan Laird, a former Black Panther who is now a death row prison minister, artist, and the owner of Expressions Gallery; Dixie Evans, the "Marilyn Monroe of burlesque," proprietor of the Exotic World Museum of Burlesque in Helendale; and other residents of the Golden State.
Through their stories and Deller's photographs, we glimpse aspects of California's boom-and-bust history, its political life and icons, its extreme landscapes and environment.
