Notes
Joseph Sterling (United States, 1936-2010), Unknown, 1972
Joseph Sterling attended Chicago’s renowned Institute of Design, where he studied photography with Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and Frederick Sommer, earning both a BS and MS (1959, 1962). As a student, Sterling created a substantial series of photographs dealing with the emerging youth culture of the late 1950s and early 1960s, which were later featured in solo exhibitions and published in the monograph The Age of Adolescence: Joseph Sterling Photographs 1959-1964 (Greybull Press, 2005).
Joseph Sterling established the photography department at Columbia College Chicago in the mid-1960s. He also taught at the Institute of Design (now part of the Illinois Institute of Technology) and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the George Eastman House, NY; and the Art Institute of Chicago.
