American Prospects by: Joel Sternfeld

American Prospects
by: Joel Sternfeld

Hardcover. Times Books, 2nd pr., 1987, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, oblong format, in a bright, price-clipped dust jacket. Features essays by Andy Grundberg and Anne W. Tucker. Stated first edition with the lowest number being 2. A powerful selection of 66 color photographs. "Joel Sternfeld traveled the country for around eight years with a 8x10 view camera and color film, a sojourn that produced his first and best-known book, American Prospects... The particular quality brought by Sternfeld to the 8x10 color-landscape aesthetic... is a clear sense of narrative... In American Prospects, each picture suggests an arcane drama being played out--an elephant stranded on a road in Oregon, or a pumpkin stall in Virginia behind which a house burns fiercely. These narrative hints are suggestive, sly, often ironic, frequently mysterious, making American Prospects less a series of photographs than a series of tales--unfinished, elliptical certainly--that add up to a cogent and persuasive view of America..." (Parr/Badger, The Photobook). Previous owner's inscription on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
