Guggenheim 138--New York City 1956 - 1957

"Guggenheim 138--New York City" is a photographic contact sheet from 1956-1957 by Robert Frank. The contact sheet is made up of strips of film, each containing multiple exposures. The images are arranged chronologically, giving a sense of the artist's shooting process. The series captures a candid glimpse into the artist's documentation of life in the United States during the 1950s. This work is considered a part of Frank's influential photobook, *The Americans*, a collection of photography that redefined the genre of documentary photography.
