About US-American photographer, Joel STERNFELD (b.1944 in New York)

Joel STERNFELD studied at Dartmouth College. He is one of the photographers who discovered color for artistic photography at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s, thus making a name for himself at the time under the term 'New Color'. Intensive research accompanies his work, which he usually conceives as completed groups of works and concludes a photo volume. Joel STERNFELD is constantly concerned with the possibilities of photographic representation and its reception. He has taught photography at New York's Sarah Lawrence College since 1985.
