| | | Joel Sternfeld: American ProspectsText by Kerry Brougher, Andy Grundberg, Anne W. Tucker.
 The definitive edition of Joel Sternfeld’s seminal American Prospects, featuring new photographs, and a revised format and coverFirst published in 1987 to critical acclaim, the seminal American Prospects has been likened to Walker Evans’ American Photographs and Robert Frank’s The Americans in both its ability to visually summarize the zeitgeist of a decade and to influence the course of photography following its publication.
This definitive edition of American Prospects contains 12 new pictures, most of which have neither been published nor exhibited. Freed from the size constraints of previous editions, Sternfeld includes portraits and portraits in the landscape that elucidate the human condition in America. The result is a more complex and rounded view of American society that strongly anticipates Sternfeld’s Stranger Passing series (1985–2000) and links the two bodies of work.
A major figure in the photography world, Joel Sternfeld was born in New York City in 1944. He has received numerous awards, including two Guggenheim fellowships, a Prix de Rome and the Citibank Photography Award. Sternfeld’s books published by Steidl include American Prospects (2003), Sweet Earth (2006), Oxbow Archive (2008), First Pictures (2012) and Landscape as Longing (2016) with Frank Gohlke.
Featured image is reproduced from 'Joel Sternfeld: American Prospects.'PRAISE AND REVIEWSIt's Nice That Ayla Angelos 40 years on and Joel Sternfeld’s photo book American Prospects has never been more relevant. Brooklyn Rail Greta Rainbow Young couples frolicking in Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon’s sheer existence, the colors of East Coast autumn—these are also America. Through Sternfeld’s eyes, we could be convinced that this mess of a place is worth saving. It’s not too late to raze the estates and catch a glimpse of the mountain view. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 1/28/2020 Featured image, captioned "South Texas, January 1983," is reproduced from Steidl's new and expanded edition of Joel Sternfeld's influential 1987 photography book, American Prospects—now featuring a dozen new and mostly unpublished images. "In the future, no doubt, these images will seem suffused with nostalgia, much as we now see Walker Evans's photographs of the 1930s," Andy Grundberg wrote in the first edition. "They will seem less ironic and more totemic, and their sometimes acid social commentary will lose much of its bite. But for now they speak of a time when progress lost its sense of inevitability, when the land lost its last pretense to innocence, when the spirit of individualism flickered for want of fresh air. They also speak of nature's restorative powers, of human goodness, of men and women seeking to accommodate their primal needs to the imperative of technological society. It is tricky business, balancing these messages, and it does not make for ideological simplicity or political instrumentality. However, in these photographs Sternfeld manages to eke a measure of harmony out of an assortment of follies, which makes American Prospects a metonym for the state of our times." continue to blog | |  | Text by Joel Sternfeld.STEIDLISBN: 9783958297609
