Item description from seller

Neu Neuware; original eingeschweisst; new item, still sealed; -The Film and Video Work of Robert Frank A decision: 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. Not simple and not especially successful. At the end of the 1950s, photographer Robert Frank decided that he was over with photography and became a filmmaker. Only in the 1970s he would start to occasionally take stills again (first with a Polaroid camera). Until now, Frank has created more than 25 films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. In his films, Frank amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres, defying each and every law of Hollywood in his relentless search for truth. In a time where the crass commercialism of Mainstream films visual grammar seems to reign supreme, Franks film and video work appears to be his most radical and visionary legacy. frank films fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of Franks films. Essays by Amy Taubin, Philip Brookman, Stefan Griseman, Bert Rebhandl, Thomas Müssiggang, Kent Jones, and Michael Barchet/Pia Neuman discuss the history and the aesthetics of Franks film work. Shorter essays by various authors examine every film and video by Frank in detail. The book offers a visually unique approach to Franks films: at his request only new stills taken from video tapes were used. The numerous video images add up to a visual essay on Franks cinema that enters in an engaging dialogue with his photographic work, in particular his stills created since the 1970s. 303 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.
