Robert Frank continues the journey, begun with his earlier photojournals "Tal uf tal ab: 29 fotos" (2010) and "Park/sleep" (2013) sharing his archives, presenting us with a new series of images of friends, colleagues, interiors, of quiet still lives and snap shots of both ordinary and unexpected objects and situations. Frank's visual diaries constitute an important part of both his later work and the ongoing art of the photo book. American photographer and documentary filmmaker Robert Frank was born in Switzerland in 1924 and emigrated to the United States in 1947. His is best known for his 1958 book "The Americans: photographs by Robert Frank," an outsider's view of American society. Frank emigrated to the United States in 1947, securing a job in New York City as a fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar. His 1972 documentary of a Rolling Stones tour, Cocksucker Blues, is arguably his best known film. In 1971 he moved to Mabou on Cape Breton Island. Since his move to Nova Scotia, he has divided his time between his home there in a former fisherman's shack on the coast, and his Bleecker Street loft in New York.
