Alec Soth

Near San Antonio, Texas

2013

Near San Antonio, Texas (2013) presents the quiet, melancholic attentiveness that has defined Alec Soth's practice across decades of large-format documentary work. Produced during his ongoing exploration of American life and its peripheral spaces, the photograph belongs to a body of work that finds poetry in overlooked moments and understated environments, where the mundane carries the full weight of human longing, solitude, and wonder. Soth's characteristic eye for composition and psychological atmosphere transforms a seemingly modest subject into something quietly monumental, inviting sustained looking rather than quick consumption. Printed as an archival pigment print and mounted to Dibond, the work demonstrates a high level of material integrity suited to long-term collection. The image measures 40 by 32 inches, printed on 44 by 36 inch paper, and the overall mounted dimensions reach approximately 45 by 37 by 2.25 inches, making it a substantial physical presence on the wall. The edition is limited to nine, and each print is hand-signed by the artist, reinforcing both its scarcity and Soth's personal investment in how the work enters the world. Soth has been recognized as one of the most significant photographers working in the American tradition today, with major museum collections and international recognition anchoring his market position. Represented by Sean Kelly Gallery, his work occupies a distinctive place between fine art photography and literary documentary, appealing to collectors who value depth of vision alongside formal rigor. An edition of nine ensures meaningful rarity without sacrificing the work's capacity to reach serious collections across institutions and private holdings alike.
