Guggenheim 93/Ford 16--Detroit 1955

"Guggenheim 93/Ford 16--Detroit" is a 1955 photo by Robert Frank, capturing the bustling atmosphere of a Detroit Ford factory. The work is presented as a contact sheet, a collection of uncropped images, often used by photographers for their own reference. Each frame presents a glimpse of the factory's activity, showcasing the repetition of labor, the industrial machinery, and the workers themselves. Frank’s iconic photo series "The Americans" (1955-1959), from which this contact sheet is a part, sought to portray everyday life in the United States, often focusing on social issues and the human condition.
