Inhaltsangabe
Over a period of fifteen years Joel Sternfeld travelled across America and took portrait photographs that form in Douglas R. Nickel’s words an “intelligent, unscientific, interpretive sampling of what Americans looked like at the century’s end.” Unlike historical portraits which represent significant people in staged surroundings, Sternfeld’s subjects are uncannily “normal”: a banker having an evening meal, a teenager collecting shopping carts in a parking lot, a homeless man holding his bedding. Using August Sander’s classic photograph of three peasants on their way to a dance as a starting point, Sternfeld employed a conceptual strategy that amounts to a new theory of the portrait, which might be termed “The Circumstantial Portrait”. What happens when we encounter the other in the mist of a circumstance? What presumptions, if any, are valid? What, if anything, can be known of the other from a photographic portrait? 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 (2011) and On This Site (2012).

hardcover. Zustand: Ottimo (Fine). Prima edizione (First Edition). Volume edito in occasione della mostra di San Francisco, Museum of Modern Art, 6 luglio - 2 ottobre 2001. Saggi di Douglas R. Nickel e Ian Frazier. 60 fotografie a colori di Joel Sternfeld. Testo in inglese . Cm 30x35. pp. 144 non numerate. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Joel Sternfeld si è imposto all'attenzione internazionale nel 1987 con la pubblicazione di ?American Prospects?, uno studio fondamentale su come l'ordine sociale si rivela attraverso il paesaggio. Pur richiamando l'austera sintesi degli anni Trenta di Walker Evans e la visione disperata degli anni Cinquanta di Robert Frank, le immagini di ?American Prospects? espongono una complessa teoria. Parlano, nelle parole del critico Andy Grundberg, di un'epoca in cui ?la terra ha perso la sua ultima pretesa di innocenza?, ma anche ?di uomini e donne che cercano di assecondare i loro bisogni primari con gli imperativi della società tecnologica?.?Stranger Passing? amplia questo studio e si affianca ad ?American Prospects'. In esso, gli abitanti vengono in primo piano mentre l'America ?siede per il suo ritratto?, secondo le parole di Douglas Nickel, curatore della fotografia del San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Book.
