AMERICAN PROSPECTS is Joel Sternfeld's landmark photographic chronicle of his eight-year road trip throughout America. Through his brilliant color images he shows us a landscape that is both mundane and exalted. This hugely influential work was his first book. Fifty-three beautifully reproduced photographs. Essays by Anne Tucker and Andy Grundberg. Published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and Random House, New York in 1987. Listed in Roth's BOOK OF 101 BOOKS and Parr/Badger's THE PHOTOBOOK: A History as a seminal work. A first edition, first printing clothbound hardcover in near fine condition with a very good dustjacket which has a moderate chip on the back cover. See photos. One of the essential photobooks.
