Robert Frank: Moving Out; 1st edition HC 1994, LIKE NEW & COLLECTIBLE

Excellent copy of both the first edition and first printing in burgundy cloth-covered boards. Both cover and DJ in like new condition with minimal wear to corners. This is the first broad survey of the late Robert Frank, unanimously regarded as one of the most important postwar photographers. Compiled with the assistance of the artist himself, it features selections from his earlier well-known books (The Americans, The Lines of My Hand), lesser-known film stills, and previously unpublished black-and-white and color composites. While necessarily selective, the chronological presentation manages to consolidate Frank's long career without sacrificing either the breadth of his themes or the pathos of the individual images. The reproductions are handsome and the layout unconventional and dramatic, presenting each work to its best artistic advantage. Given such perspective and scope, the weight and poetry of Frank's oeuvre are undeniable. The inclusion of insightful critical and biographical writings on the artist further enhances the work. Includes a foreword by Earl A. Powell III and texts by Philip Brookman, W.S. Di Piero, Martin Gasser, Sarah Greenough and John Hanhardt. Features a chronology, list of selected exhibitions of photographs and films, list of films, list of works exhibited and bibliography.
