American Prospects

€ 214,00
Joel Sternfeld's landmark first book of ironic color photographs. A most handsome copy of the hardbound Times Books first edition (cited on pages 34-35 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II", pages 338-339 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book, page 60)
American Prospects is the first book by photographer Joel Sternfeld, featuring fifty-five color photographs captured during an eight-to-ten-year journey across the United States. The work explores the complexity of American life through a series of narrative-driven images that juxtapose the magnificent with the mundane. Examples include a quaint Virginia farmer's market with a house on fire in the background, a cloudy day at a water park in Orlando, and a collapsed elephant blocking a road in Washington state. These photographs are noted for their sense of narrative and ironic quality, offering a persuasive view of American landscape and culture through an 8x10 color-landscape aesthetic.
