Bats and Helmets is a C-print from Hudson Valley Renegades: Summer League Baseball, a portfolio of 25 photographs by Stephen Shore (b. 1947) made at Dutchess Stadium in 2001 and printed at Laumont Photographics by Kylie Wright under Shore's supervision. The image presents a still-life of baseball equipment — a rack or grouping of bats and batting helmets in the dugout, the utilitarian objects of the game rendered as a quiet, geometric composition in Shore's characteristic clear color. Signed in pen on verso.
