Family--New York City no number 1954

"Family--New York City no number" is a 1954 photograph by Robert Frank that displays four strips of 35mm film negatives, each containing several frames. This work, a prime example of Frank's signature photojournalism, exemplifies his raw and candid approach to capturing everyday life. The photograph is a striking visual representation of the behind-the-scenes process of creating photographs and the reality that each picture captures only a fleeting moment in time. The work is part of Frank’s iconic photobook "The Americans," which explored the social and cultural landscape of the United States in the 1950s.
