First published to widespread acclaim nearly 40 years ago, Joel Sternfeld's “American Prospects” remains one of the most influential works in contemporary photography—capturing a complex and, at times, darkly ironic vision of the American landscape. Supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship and inspired by photographers like Walker Evans and Robert Frank, Sternfeld embarked on an ambitious cross-country journey from 1978 to 1983 to document the essence of America. The result is a body of work that remains as thought-provoking today as it was at its debut, offering a layered and evocative portrait of the nation. In this special Reunion seminar, Sternfeld will take you behind the scenes of his seminal work, sharing the stories behind some of its most striking images. Though first released in 1987, “American Prospects” continues to resonate in today’s shifting landscape, reflecting enduring themes of political uncertainty, environmental fragility, and the contradictions of American identity.
