Looking In, Robert Frank's the Americans

From Strand Bookstore

First 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 - @The MetMusArt, NYC, 9.20.09-12.27.09 - mark the 50th anniversary of the book's publication. The catalogue provides an in-depth examination of the making of the photos & the book's actual construction, using vintage contact sheets and work prints that literally chart Frank's 1955-56 Guggenheim-sponsored, U.S.-wide journey. 280 tritone; 86 color.
