Robert Frank né en 1924 en Suisse. De ses débuts photographiques et de sa vie en Suisse, avant son départ pour l'Amérique, il faut retenir qu'il a appris la photographie aux côtés d'un retoucheur du nom de Sesseger ; de cet apprentissage, il gardera surtout sa passion pour les cartes postales. Robert Frank ironise aussi beaucoup à propos de son éducation suisse. Lorsqu'il est arrêté en Arkansas par une patrouille de police, alors qu'il photographie pour son projet les Américains, ou lorsque plus récemment, découragé par son manque d'entrain pour une commande de photographies reçue de la ville de Birmingham, Géorgie, il est à la limite dans les deux cas, d'abandonner ces projets en cours, il dira de ces deux situations "C'est là que je me suis rendu compte que j'étais plus Suisse que je ne le croyais : le travail que 1'on a commencé, tout Suisse sait cela, il faut le terminer," Ce trait ironique est cependant la dernière chose qui unit encore Robert Frank avec la Suisse lorsqu'il arrive à New York en 1947, c'est bel et bien pour fuir une Suisse trop étriquée, trop allemande.

Cette exposition est l’occasion de revenir sur l’oeuvre d’un maître incontesté de la photographie documentaire, auteur du célèbre livre de photographies intitulé Les Américains, publié par Robert Delpire en France en 1958 (1959 pour l’édition américaine chez Grove Press), et qui fit l’effet d’une onde de choc dans l’histoire mondiale de la photographie.

Qu'est-ce qui définit le photographe si ce n'est son oeil ? Les 75 artistes du livre « Visionnaire : les plus grands photographes » ont en commun le fait d'avoir réussi à capter un monde en train de changer radicalement. Et si ce n'était pas un mais différents regards croisés sur leur environnement ? Regarder dans plusieurs directions à la fois. C'est ce qui fît leur talent.
« Qui est capable d'anticipation, qui a l'intuition de l'avenir » : c'est en ces termes que le dictionnaire Larousse définit le terme « visionnaire ». Effectivement, visionnaires, ces 75 photographes l'étaient tous. Il faut être extrêmement lucide, ...

Né en 1924 à Zurich, Robert Frank commence à s'intéresser à la photographie dès l'âge de 12 ans, avant de devenir apprenti chez le voisin de la famille, le photographe Hermann Segesser.
Robert Frank est connu, entre autres, comme une figure du mouvement Beat, et fut un temps le compagnon de route de Jack Kerouac. Grâce à une bourse de la fondation Guggenheim, il part traverser les États-Unis en voiture pendant un an, avec son appareil photo.
Suite à ses vagabondages à la fin des années 1950, Robert Frank publie The Americans. Même s'il ne rencontre pas un véritable succès à sa sortie, le livre devient par la suite une référence en mati&e...
In 1950, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to travel through Europe with his family. That summer he arrived in Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place enduring the austere conditions of the postwar period like the rest of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the daily life of a fishing village. His portrayal is so natural and clear that further verbal explanation seems superfluous; they simply reflect, in the photo grapher’s words, “the humanity of the moment”. The photographs in this book, many of which have never been published before, allow dignity to override poverty.

Après Tal Uf Tal Ab (2010) et You Would (2012) voici le troisième opus du journal du photographe américain. Ce carnet mélange photos anciennes et récentes, portraits d'amis, intérieurs et scènes de rue ; photographies en noir et blanc.

Following its acclaimed predecessors Tal Uf Tal Ab (2012) and You Would (2012), Park / Sleep is the third of Robert Frank’s visual diaries. It takes up his familiar collage technique, combining new and old snapshots, mainly of his friends, family, and home studio, but also scenic and urban settings and interiors. The images are accompanied by short texts; notes, snatches of conversation, poems and thoughts.

En août 1992, à l'invitation d'un vieil ami, Robert Frank effectue un séjour de cinq jours sur le cercle polaire arctique à Pangnirtung, bourgade canadienne peuplée de 1300 Inuits. Dans ces lieux désolés, Frank photographie à son habitude en Polaroid noir et blanc. Le livre s'ouvre sur quelques paysages. Masse sombre des eaux du fjord et des montagnes environnantes, pâleur des cieux nuageux. Pour Pangnirtung Robert Frank choisit de ne photographier aucune présence humaine.Passé la présentation du cadre naturel, Frank se borne à décrire cette petite ville où l'on ne trouve que le minimum vital. Ce faisant, il parvient à mettre en exergue certains fondamentaux du monde moderne. Un fil tél&...
“Tal Uf Tal Ab is Swiss-German. It means direction up the valley – down the valley. Now I live and wait and think mostly in the places I live – New York City and Mabou N.S.” Robert Frank
Tal Uf Tal Ab is a book of new photographs by Robert Frank. Frank’s subjects are his life now, an inquisitive existence shaped by memory: newsstands, streetscapes, portraits of friends and his wife June Leaf, interiors, a self-portrait. This book is the latest phase in Frank’s unceasing exploration of photography, and a humble yet important progression in the medium of the photobook.

“I put my Leica in a cupboard. Enough of lying in wait, pursuing, sometimes catching the essence of the black and the white, the knowledge where God is. I make films. Now I speak to the people in my viewfinder.” Robert Frank
Robert Frank turned to filmmaking at the end of the 1950s. Although he has made 27 films, the work is largely a well kept secret. Frank approaches each film project as a new experience, challenging the medium and its possibilities at every turn. He has amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres. This book offers a visually unique approach to Frank’s films: only new stills taken from videotapes have been used and they add up to a visual essay on Frank’s cinema that establishes an engaging dialogue with his photographic work. Each film is introdu...

British author Geoff Dyer once surmised that Edward Hopper "could claim to be the most influential American photographer of the twentieth century- even though he didn't take any photographs." What we see in Hopper's paintings when we look at them through the lens of photography, and how, in turn, the language of photography was influenced by Hopper's work, are the twin subjects of Edward Hopper & Company. Thoughtfully curated and edited by the respected San Francisco gallerist Jeffrey Fraenkel, seven paintings and three drawings by Hopper are here thematically interlaced with carefully selected photographs by eight of the masters of twentieth-century photography: Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander and Stephen Shore. As Fraenkel writes in...

irst released in 1958, Robert Frank's seminal work, The Americans, is without question the single most important photographer's book published since World War II, and it continues to be profoundly influential, inspiring countless photographers around the world. This catalogue and the traveling exhibition it accompanies mark the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication. Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans provides a fascinating, in-depth examination of the making of the photographs for the book and its actual construction, using vintage contact sheets and work prints that literally chart Frank's journey around the country on a Guggenheim grant in 1955-56. Curator and editor Sarah Greenough and her colleagues explore the making of The Americans as well as its roots in Frank's earlier books, which are abundantly ...
Paris is the first time that the significant body of photographs which Robert Frank made in Paris in the early 1950s have been brought together in a single book. His visit to Paris in 1951 was his second return to Europe after he had settled in New York City in 1947 and some of the images he made during that visit have become iconic in the history of the medium.
The 80 photographs selected by Robert Frank and Ute Eskildsen suggest that Frank’s experience of the “new world” had sharpened his eye for European urbanism. He saw the city’s streets as a stage for human activity and focused particularly on the flower sellers. His work clearly references Atget and invokes the tradition of the flaneur.

Publié dans l'indifférence en 1958, ce livre est devenu un classique. Jugé triste ou pervers, voire subversif, par la presse américaine d' alors, son importance n'a pourtant cessé de croître au fil des années. Car les photographes, les critiques et le grand public ont salué en Robert Frank un véritable novateur. Ce livre n'a rien d'un reportage. Il ne raconte pas le périple d'un homme à travers les Etats-Unis. Il rassemble une suite de notes prises sur le vif par un écorché vif.

These remarkable pictures jump alive and insinuate themselves into our consciousness with qualities that later gained notoriety in "The Americans."
Book Description
Between 1949 and 1953, Robert Frank continually returned to Europe from his new home in New York to take photographs in France, Switzerland, Spain, and Great Britain, photographs that show the development of his uniquely humanist, poetic, and realist eye. In 1951 and early 1952, Frank visited London--"I liked the light, I liked the fog."--and set out to photograph the unique atmosphere of the city. He followed British financiers around the City, capturing them in their traditional top hats and long coats, creating images that depict them in a poetic dance with their fog-shrouded environment. He shot pictures of wo...

In November of 1991 Robert Frank went to Beirut on a commission to photograph the city's devastated downtown in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). Much of the work he did there, together with that of five other photographers with whom he shared the assignment, was put together in Beirut City Centre by Editions du Cypres in 1992. Alongside that commissioned work, he also made Polaroids of the city and its environs, which, on his return home, he stowed away in his studio. It was only many years later that he considered those images again, and used them to create a sketchbook's worth of Polaroid collages. Come Again is a facsimile reprint of that notebook. In recent years Frank has worked almost exclusively with Polaroids, exploring the collage and assemblage possibilities of the instant photograph. Come A...
Armed with a camera and a fresh cache of film and bankrolled by a Guggenheim Foundation grant, Robert Frank crisscrossed the United States during 1955 and 1956. The photographs he brought back form a portrait of the country at the time and hint at its future. He saw the hope of the future in the faces of a couple at city hall in Reno, Nevada, and the despair of the present in a grimy roofscape. He saw the roiling racial tension, glamour, and beauty, and, perhaps because Frank himself was on the road, he was particularly attuned to Americans' love for cars. Funeral-goers lean against a shiny sedan, lovers kiss on a beach blanket in front of their parked car, young boys perch in the back seat at a drive-in movie. A sports car under a drop cloth is framed by two California palm trees; on the next page, a blanket is draped o...

Robert Frank, né à Zurich en 1924, est l'un des photographes vivants les plus célèbres : sa contribution à l'art photographique du 20e siècle est essentielle et son livre mythique The Americans est rapidement apparu comme le manifeste d'une nouvelle esthétique qui devait dominer la scène photographique de l'après-guerre. À la fin des années 1950, au moment où il accède à la reconnaissance, Robert Frank abandonne la photographie pour se tourner vers le cinéma - d'abord le film puis la vidéo.
Il retournera à la photo dans le courant des années 1970, et son travail de cinéaste restera largement confidentiel pendant près de quarante ans. Les films de Robert Frank sont de petits récits à tonalité intimiste et autobiographique dans lesquels il capte la fugacité de l'instant qu'il cherchait à fixer d...

In the second decade of the 20th century, as the population of New York surpassed that of London, images of street life became an increasingly appealing form of documentary and artistic interpretation among American photographers. This new subject matter was most certainly influenced by contemporary painters like John Sloan and Robert Henri, who found excitement in the physically teeming and visually cacophonous streets of New York. In addition, while photographers had been drawn to urban spaces since the medium’s beginnings, new technological advances encouraged spontaneity and easier movement through congested spaces and rushing crowds. Offering a wide cast of characters and vast variety of experiences on which to focus, the city street took firm hold of photographers’ imaginations, giving birth to a rich g...

After having travelled across the United States for two years taking photographs, Robert Frank selected 83 pictures for his book The Americans. Published in the United States in 1959, the book provided a stark contrast to the media’s superficial image of American society. The critical response was savage. The Americans was described as a sad poem by a sick person. Robert Frank had produced one of the most influential books of photographs of all time.
Arguably one of the world’s most important photographers, the Swiss Robert Frank has questioned and challenged the boundaries of photography and film for over sixty years. His work has influenced photographers, filmmakers and artists alike. In 1996 Robert Frank received the prestigious Hasselblad Award.

«Being a tourist meant being an outsider, and inexperienced member of the public. Isolated from the commonplace world by tour buses and guides, the modern tourist is protected from foreign-ness, but in the old days we wanted to pass as natives, if only to avoid being overcharged by street vendors and taxi drivers.»
— J.B. Jackson, The Necessity for Ruins
New York, NY - Inspired by the writings of the late J. B. Jackson, Hail Traveler! The Photographer as Tourist, and the Tourist as Subject at Rick Wester Fine Art features photographs focusing on the itinerant essence of photography. Works included speak to Jackson's definition by exposing the tourist that resides in every photographer, and the tourist as a perennial target for the lens.
J.B. Jackson (1909-1996), a professor of landscape...
The 40 works range from early black and white photographs to the classic icons of American color photography.
A number of great photographers played a large role in forming and defining the American Myth. The discovery of everyday aspects of American life was decisive in this: cities and symbols, cars, signs, billboards, advertising, telephone poles, parking lots and barbershops.
People are a second aspect of the wide-ranging exhibition, from the years of the Great Depression to impressive portraits of celebrities.
The comparison of almost a century of American photographs results in an interesting structure of similarities and contrasts, which are balanced through the selective choice of images.
The exhibition begins with works of the early 20th century by Paul Strand and Berenice Abbott, who both show ...

This is the gallery's second annual Great Photographs of the 20th Century exhibition, following the success of last year's exhibition titled Staged and Startled. This recurring program is an opportunity for collectors and the public to view important and rare vintage photographs that would usually be restricted to a museum setting.
This year's exhibition, From the Street, is an examination of street photography in works ranging from the 1930s to the present. The exhibition will include iconic examples of the genre, such as Robert Frank's Rodeo, New York City (1954), Lisette Model's Promenade des Anglais, Nice (1934), and Lee Friedlander's Newark, N.J. (1962), alongside rarely exhibited photographs by masters of photography such as Richard Avedon and Garry Winogrand. The exhibition uniquel...
In the context of the 4th European Month of Photography Berlin, which is presented for the first time as a themed event, the Kunsthandel Jörg Maaß is pleased to announce the exhibition “Street Photography. Selected Works from Six Decades”.
The exhibition centers around vintage prints which document life on the streets through the decades. This wide overview begins in Europe in the early 1930s with selected black and white photographs from Ilse Bing, Bill Brandt, Brassai, Cartier-Bresson and others.
American Street Photography of the 1940s to the 1970s is represented by works from Harry Callahan, Louis Fauer, Andreas Feininger, Robert Frank, Leon Levinstein, Ray K. Metzker, Erika Stone and Weegee. The exhibition closes with color prints of iconic examples of Street Photography, such as ...
As part of its plans to engage with a wider public and in line with its desire to share in key events of Parisian cultural life, the Monnaie de Paris is taking part for the second time in the Mois de la Photo (Photo Month) and has chosen to pay tribute to a key figure from the world of photography, namely Gerhard Steidl.
Steidl founded the publishing house and printing works which bear his name in 1972 and has played a part in promoting the work of the most important photographers, past and present, with a whole series of admirable books. The quality of the page layout, typography and choice of paper, together with the incredible care taken over the actual manufacturing of the books, mean that these are genuine objets d’art and very popular with connoisseurs. The artists not just photographers but also visu...
Dans le cadre de son ouverture au plus large public, en accord avec sa volonté de partager les moments forts de la vie culturelle parisienne, la Monnaie de Paris participe pour la deuxième fois au Mois de la Photo. Elle a choisi de rendre hommage à l’incontournable personnalité du monde de la photographie : Gerhard Steidl.
Fondateur, en 1972, de la maison d’édition et de l’imprimerie qui portent son nom, Steidl a contribué à la diffusion du travail des plus importants photographes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui au travers d’ouvrages admirables. La qualité de la mise en page, de la typographie, le choix du papier, l’extrême soin porté à la fabrication même du livre en font un objet d’art pri...
Exposed presents over two hundred photographic works, from the late nineteenth century to the present day, offering an illuminating and provocative perspective on subjects both iconic and taboo.
Images selected are by well-known artists and photo-journalists, as well as amateur photographers and those using automated technologies such as CCTV. Among the key issues will be the power struggle between those with the authority over image production (artists, authors or the state) and the rights and desires of individuals. This relationship is under increasing pressure,both from the escalating use of surveillance, and the advance of small, portable digital cameras in mobile phones.
Includes work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Dorothea Lange, Paul Strand and ...
“On the Road”, une sélection de tirages issus des collections de la MEP et de la Médiathèque de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine autour du thème de la route.
Le voyage, ce n’est pas arriver, c’est partir. Les photographes adorent le voyage. La saveur de l’inconnu, du mouvement, d’ici ou d’ailleurs.
“On the Road” réunit les visions oniriques de photographes majeurs du 20ème siècle qui rendent compte de ce moment privilégié de la transition. Il n’était pas évident d’amener vingt-cinq auteurs dans sur la plate-forme d’un camion suggéré par Jack Kerouac sur les routes de la poésie. La joie, la force, la suggestion qui s’en dégagent invite...
HASTED HUNT KRAEUTLER is pleased to announce Great Photographs of the 20th Century: Staged and Startled. The gallery will be exhibiting a selection of rare and sought after photographs lent from numerous private collections representing some of the most important photographers of the last 100 years.
The title Staged and Startled refers to the various processes artists use in achieving their final images including lighting, setting, equipment and planning, or conversely, deliberate eschewal of preparation. The opportunity to compare these works side by side reveals the individuality of the century's most iconic photographers. The exhibition spans from the premeditated studio portraits of artists such as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn to the spontaneous street photographs of such masters as Robert Frank and Lee Friedla...

Robert Mann Gallery is pleased to begin the fall season with Robert Frank, the premiere exhibition in our renovated Chelsea gallery space. Representing an outstanding collection of exquisite rare Frank prints, the exhibition will include iconic images from The Americans, as well as earlier poetic photographs taken in Paris and London. In surveying the early years that solidified Frank's style and reputation, we celebrate one of the most singular, original voices in the history of photography.
Robert Mann Gallery's presentation of Robert Frank coincides with the 50th anniversary of the publication of his seminal book The Americans, first released in 1958 by Parisian publisher Robert Delpire, and in 1959 by Grove Press, which made the book available to a wider audience. The anniversary is marked by a substantial tou...
This exhibition will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Americans, Robert Frank’s influential suite of black-and-white photographs made on a cross-country road trip in 1955–56. Although Frank’s depiction of American life was criticized when the book was released in the U.S. in 1959, it soon became recognized as a masterpiece of street photography. Born in Switzerland in 1924, Frank is considered one of the great living masters of photography. The exhibition will feature all 83 photographs published in The Americans and will be the first time that this body of work is presented to a New York audience. In addition, the exhibition will include a full set of contact sheets that Frank used to create the book; earlier photographs made in Europe, Peru, and New York; a short film by th...
Early last year, the Polaroid Corporation ceased producing its iconic film. The 9th October 2009 will see the final “Use by” or Expiration date of the last batch of Polaroid film manufactured. The exhibition at Atlas will feature a wide selection of Polaroid prints by photographers who have either worked directly with the Polaroid Corporation as part of their research program or who have become famous for the quality of their Polaroid prints either alongside or independent from their traditional camera-based work. It will thus trace the development and use of this unique medium up to the present day. The opening reception will coincide with Polaroid film’s final date of expiration.
The Polaroid or ‘one-step photography’ was invented by Edwin H. Land, founder of the Polaroid Corporati...
Marks of Honour - A Striking Library
Marks of Honour is a photo book project and exhibition organised and curated by Nina Poppe and Verena Loewenhaupt.
MoH was conceived in order to reveal the inspiration that a new generation of photographers have gained from the history of photography in the form of books.
13 international photographers were invited to pay artistic tribute to a publication that has been influential to their own work.
All participating works are limited to three copies, each containing the original photo book and its accompanying homage.
The exhibiton MoH/08 displays the variety of inspirational sources and their tributes through a combination of different media.
Marks of Honour is an ongoing project that aims to create a striking library of contemporary photo books.

L.A. ou si vous préférez Los Angeles, la cité des anges... et des démons. Pour quelques chanceux, L.A. est synonyme de soleil, de plage, de piscine, de corps sains et bronzés. Pour les autres, L.A. n'est souvent qu'une concentration d'autoroutes encombrées, de pollutions et de peurs de toutes sortes. C'est une ville sans centre et sans âme... Là-haut, dans les cieux, règnent les stars d'Hollywood; mais ici-bas, les habitants craignent un nouveau tremblement de terre ou le déclenchement d'émeutes. Rêve ou cauchemar? Réalité ou fiction? La vérité sur ce lieu mythique et fascinant se situe peut-être entre les deux.
Los Angeles, ville à multiples facettes, est adorée des photographes de tout...
On doit à Robert Frank d’avoir associé et fait dialoguer photographie et poésie, littérature et peinture, initiant un langage qui affirme sa subjectivité tout en intégrant l’héritage de la photographie documentaire. Il est l’auteur d’un livre mythique, Les Américains (publié en France en 1958), et d’une très importante production photographique et cinématographique. Au tout début des années 1950, alors qu’il était déjà installé à New York, il a réalisé des images de Paris avec un œil aiguisé par son éloignement.
Cette exposition accueille la sélection de photographies de la série Paris, choisies par Robert Fra...
Il Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea presenta 80 opere, la gran parte inedite, di Robert Frank, uno dei padri della fotografia contemporanea, realizzate a Parigi tra il 1949 e il 1952, negli anni immediatamente successivi al suo trasferimento negli Stati Uniti, avvenuto nel 1947. Si tratta di fotografie che vengono presentate per la prima volta al pubblico, raccolte in una mostra itinerante promossa dal Folkwang Museum di Essen e che, dopo il Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea, farà tappa nelle prestigiosi sedi del Jeu de Paume di Parigi e del Nederlands Fotomuseum di Rotterdam.
Molte delle fotografie prodotte da Robert Frank durante i suoi soggiorni parigini sono oggi famose in tutto il mondo e appartengono ad un solido repertorio della storia della fotografia. Le opere in mostra sono state scelte dall’au...

Between the late 1930s and the early 1960s a group of young photographers living and working in New York City redefined street photography.
This group of artists became known as The New York School.
These photographers documented the post war energy and exotic chaos of New York City as it evolved from the crisis years of the Great
Depression and the Second World War through to the social turbulence of the early seventies. Most of them worked on magazines but it was their personal work that stood them apart.
They captured the choreography of the city from the sidewalks of downtown, to the intensity of Times Square, the isolation and elegance of the arc...
