Steidl has released a new photobook from American master, Joel Sternfeld.

After about six weeks of intense work, my idyll was broken by a phone call: my brother Gabriel had died in an automobile accident in Colorado. I returned to New York; I never went back to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"nxt-bolded\"\u003eNags\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"nxt-bolded\"\u003eHead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Seemingly disparate parts fused into a coherent whole. I made a photograph. Long ago, I had read of a phenomenon which might be described as ‘clear seeing in a clear light.’ Although I cannot now identify the source of this notion, I believe this was such a moment for me. At the time, I had no way of knowing it, but that photograph, made in despair, would eventually shape my entire practice.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Artbook \/D.A.P","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43115123015820,"sku":"A.MAJO10831","price":78.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/1187\/0348\/files\/joel-sternfeld-nags-head-25.jpg?v=1720466090","url":"https:\/\/amanobrooklyn.sbs\/en-ca\/products\/joel-sternfeld-nags-head","provider":"A.MANO Brooklyn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
