Background information
"First published in 1987, the seminal title 'American Prospects' by US photographer Joel STERNFELD has been compared to 'American Photographs' by Walker EVANS and 'The Americans' by Robert FRANK for their influential impact on photography after its publication. The result is a more complex and rounded view of American society, which he already impressively anticipates in the series 'Stranger Passing' (1985-2000), linking the two groups of works.
Content
This definitive, revised edition of the photo volume 'American Prospects' by Joel STERNFELD includes twelve new images, most of which have never been published or exhibited. Freed from the size limitations of earlier editions, Joel STERNFELD includes portraits and portraits in the landscape that illustrate the human condition in America."
