Joel Sternfeld - Colour Photographs since 1970

Foam presents the first major retrospective in the Netherlands of the work of Joel Sternfeld (1944, New York), one of the pioneers of colour photography.

Extensive overview

The show includes more than one hundred photos from ten different series in an exhibition spanning two floors. A highlight is Sternfeld's early work from the 1970s, which has never previously been exhibited. A large selection from famed series such as American Prospects, the result of a famous journey through the United States, and Stranger Passing will also be on show.

Three decades of life in America

A constant factor in Sternfeld's work is his native North America, its inhabitants and the traces left by people on the landscape. With a subtle sense of irony and an exceptional feeling for colour, Sternfeld offers us an image of daily life in America over the last three decades.
