About This Item
(STERLING, JOSEPH). Sterling, Joseph. Introduction by David Travis. THE AGE OF ADOLESCENCE: JOSEPH STERLING PHOTOGRAPHS 1959-1964 - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Signed and Dated by the Photographer. Los Angeles: Greybull Press, 2005. First Edition 1/5000. 4to. Cloth with Pastedown. Photography Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 136pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. Designed by Dmitri Levas. "From 1959 to 1964 Joseph Sterling photographed teenagers - mostly in and around Chicago - hanging out after school, at drive-ins, in fast cars. As Sterling himself defined it, "the world of the adolescent is totally interlaced within itself and incapable of freeing itself . . . It whirls, rolls, and engulfs what it is allowed to engulf." During that bridging period between postwar peace and prewar upheaval, Sterling was a student himself at Moholy-Nagy's Institute of Design in Chicago, where he studied photography under Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and Frederick Sommer with classmates Yasuhiro Ishimoto and Ray Metzker. Along with an essay by David Travis, Curator of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago since 1972, "The Age of Adolescence" collects more than one hundred images of a time that's both historically important and emotionally resonant, one in which, as Sterling says, "opportunity is revealed and must be exploited". A brand new, most handsome example additionally SIGNED AND DATED "Joseph Sterling / 12-1-05" in the year of publication black ink on the half title page.
