Collection of personal Polaroid photographs, presented as an Artist Book, and as a singular photobook. The latter in a way reminiscent of the ground-breaking "Autobiography" by Sol Lewitt. The Fir…st Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only and as part of the Steidl "Robert Frank Project". An austerely elegant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Black leatherette boards with gilt titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. The design mimics an actual inventory book. Photographs by Robert Frank. There is no text. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. In protective plastic sheet. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Household Inventory Record". A new installment in the Series of Robert Frank's visual diaries: Private photographs of home and abroad that look and feel familiar, and disquietingly unfamiliar, at the same time. "Continues the journey into Frank's world and his imagery, showing us snapshots from his travels, of his friends, and everyday curiosities" (Publisher's blurb). It is one of Robert Frank's most intimate books, a rare, privileged peek into his private world, laconically presented as an inventory of "personal effects", whether they be real home furnishings, family members, friends, and the glorious landscapes of Nova Scotia. While looking at the pictures, one feels as though someone, most likely Robert Frank, is looking over one's shoulder, along with us: The Polaroids seem ordinary on the surface, on the one hand, yet abstruse and enigmatic in their meaning and significance, on the other. 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 copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Robert Frank. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a photobook classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online, is enclosed within a protective plastic sheet, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Robert Frank stopped doing public signings a long time ago. Even when he did, they were very few and far between. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with Polaroid reproductions. 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 collectible copy.

Volume I")."I have been going forward, travelling my road while looking out. I am listening to my voice. The landscape changes and me too. Years ago a first version of The Lines of My Hands was published. Since then many have gone a way.I continue to look and search for an image that comes close to a truth. It is my choice, it is my fate, and I continue" (Robert Frank). SIGNED by Robert Frank on the title page.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 210 pages. Published in 2004. Full-fledged Exhibition Monograph, presented as an Artist Book, and as a great photobook, in and of itself. One of the most beautiful books on the photographic art and achievement of Robert Frank…. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a "turtleback" flexiboard original only and as one of the earliest titles in the Steidl "Robert Frank Project". The Exhibition Monograph is now scarce. A brilliant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial plastic covers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs, film stills, and text by Robert Frank. Essays by Ian Penman and Vicente Todoli. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition of the same name, the very first full-fledged overview of the photographer's body of work in the United Kingdom, held at the Tate Modern London from October 28, 2004 through January 23, 2005. Presents Robert Frank's "Storylines". The photographer's finest and most representative work, selected by him with particular emphasis, as his title suggests, on their status as photo-narratives. Aside from turning a series of discrete photographs into a sequence that adds up to a narrative whole, Frank wrote the accompanying text himself. He is that rare thing among photographers: A photographer and an artist who is also an accomplished writer. After all, his decisive artistic influences and closest friendships have been with writers (like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, among others), not fellow photographers. With the exception of "Moving Out" (1994), which appeared a full decade ago, "Storylines" is the most comprehensive overview of Frank's canonical body of work, beautifully produced in an Artist Book format. It makes a compelling case for Robert Frank as the one photographer who has radically transformed documentary "street photography" by turning it into powerful self-expression: His "objective" photographs of people, places, landscapes, events, and things express his "subjective" inner turmoil, which, in the end, is what all true art does. "He can portray real pain and capture profound depths of human emotion better than almost any other photographer; indeed, better than almost any other artist in any medium" (Martin Parr and Gerry Badger). 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 copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by Robert Frank. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 235 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 collectible copy.

In pictorial DJ/slipcase, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Seven Stories". One of the most sublimely beautiful titles in the Steidl Project. "After completing his seminal photography book, 'The Americans' in 1958, Robert Frank put aside the still image and concentrated throughout the 1960's on film-making. He returned to still photography in the 1970's, using a Polaroid camera with black-and-white positive/negative film. These images were frequently layered with text, which Frank inscribed by hand onto the Polaroid negative. He found that these works allowed him more freedom to 'destroy the perfect image'. In recent years, Frank has worked almost exclusively with Polaroids, exploring the collage and assemblage possibilities of the instant photograph. This slipcased collection of small, staple-bound books represents a new stage in the practice of a remarkable artist who continually challenges the limits of photography and strives to avoid repeating himself" (Gerhard Steidl). "He can portray real pain and capture profound depths of human emotion better than almost any other photographer; indeed, better than almost any other artist in any medium" (Martin Parr and Gerry Badger). 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.

Retrospective collection of Polaroid photographs, presented as a scrapbook, as an Artist Book, and as a stunningly original photobook. The First Edition.

An austerely elegant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with photographic reproduction in front and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Robert Frank. There is no text. Printed in quadrotone on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper using four-color matte inks and varnish coating by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In pictorial DJ/slipcase, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Come Again: Polaroids". His "Lebanon Polaroids", assembled by the photographer in one Notebook. The original remained in his possession. This Facsimile Edition reproduces its visual, even tactile, subtleties, with the varnish coating, in particular, mimicking the Polaroid print's glossy finish. "In 1991, Robert Frank went to Beirut to photograph the city's devastation after the Civil War (1975-1990). He also made Polaroids which, upon his return home, he kept for himself. Many years later, he looked at those images again, and decided to create a sketchbook's worth of Polaroids. Robert Frank has worked almost exclusively with Polaroid in recent years, exploring the collage and assemblage possibilities of the instant photograph" (Gerhard Steidl). Frank's images of a devastated land capture in a rigorous documentary format a universal human tragedy as well as his own personal turmoil and pain. "He can portray real pain and capture profound depths of human emotion better than almost any other photographer; indeed, better than almost any other artist in any medium" (Martin Parr and Gerry Badger). 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 copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Robert Frank. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great photobook. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online, is still in the publisher's original plastic wrappers, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Robert Frank was notoriously averse to any kind of signing, but he made a rare public appearance in New York City towards the end of his life. He signed copies for a few people, then abruptly left. Signed Robert Franks are rare, command as much as $20000 online even if they are not in fine condition, and will always keep their value. A rare signed copy thus. 24 quadrotone 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 collectible copy.
