A propos de cet article

1st Printing. 48 pages. Published in 2009. Facsimile Portfolio of the photographer's very first "apprenticeship"/employment resume of his work. One of the most important, most beautiful, and most valuable titles in Robert Frank's oeuvre. The First Edition. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover/portfolio-brochure format original only that sold out shortly after publication. Published as part of the Steidl "Robert Frank Project". The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Portfolio Brochure/Resume format. Photographs by Robert Frank and those of others that he retouched - and transformed as such. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Portfolio: 40 Photos 1941-1946". A magnificent Facsimile: A gift-gesture for all of us, who will be hard-pressed at spending tens of thousands of dollars apiece for these images in their vintage silver-gelatin print format. And if you're like us, who think Frank's pre-"The Americans" lyrical, innovative, and sublime images are superior, this is indispensable. "When Robert Frank immigrated to New York from Zurich in 1947, having apprenticed with commercial photographers in his hometown, the aspiring young photographer brought along his portfolio to help him secure employment. 'Portfolio' is the Facsimile Version. Containing Frank's earliest original photographs as well the work of other photographers which he had retouched, the portfolio presents images of rural life in Switzerland alongside alpine landscapes, cityscapes, and still life. A guaranteed collector's item, this beautifully printed volume contains the seeds of a career of such scope and influence that even the ambitious 23-year-old Robert Frank could never have anticipated it" (Publisher's blurb). Robert Frank died on September 9, 2019 at the age of 94 as the greatest photographer of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Frank collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing (Portfolio-Brochure format) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws ("Acceptable" and "Good" are neither acceptable nor good, NOT for facsimile prints) yet command many hundreds of dollars. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 40 plates. Three of Robert Frank's books were selected as among the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". At the age of 92, Robert Frank was profiled in 2016 by The New York Times as "the greatest photographer of our time". A fine copy.
