It was the end of the 1960s when Joel Sternfeld was already turning to color photography. At that time, any color was taboo in art photography. If you didn’t want to be automatically dismissed as an photographer, you chose black and white. But the American photographer had studied the color theory of the Bauhaus and particularly dealt with the color theories of Joseph Albers. A work of art, according to the idea, should consist of two to three colors or, more precisely, of “non-primary tones of the same density” – a design principle that is reflected in the Sternfeld series exhibited in the Albertina American Prospects is to be studied in all its brilliance.
