Commemorating the photography giant’s centennial, with a new text by the famed poet and writer Ocean VuongWidely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of his medium, Robert Frank broke new ground with his candid, poignant images of American life in the mid-20th century.

Through a selection of his lesser-known photographs, collages, sketches and maquettes from 1955 to 2016, a new portrait of the artist emerges, one that shows his commitment to growth and experimentation throughout his career. With a new text by Ocean Vuong, author of the award-winning On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (2019), this volume is a sensitive homage to a canonical artist.Robert Frank was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1924.

Over his decades-long career, Frank captured the complexities of contemporary life with a distinct style and poetic insight.
