New Orleans, Louisiana, (#2), August, 1974 - Joel Sternfeld
From The New Yorker’s Photobooth: It’s always exciting to discover early work of an accomplished and established artist. Three decades after they were made, Joel Sternfeld’s earliest photographs have now been published as “First Pictures,” a selection of which are débuting today at Luhring Augustine Gallery. Taken between 1971 and 1980, the photographs document the travels of a young artist from busy streets to barefoot beaches, with inklings of Sternfeld’s now celebrated dark sense of humor, formalist experiments in color theory, and narrative tableaus.
