"Guggenheim 9--Savannah, Georgia" is a photograph from Robert Frank's iconic photobook *The Americans* (1955-58). The image features a strip of film contact sheets, revealing three frames from Frank's photographic journey across the United States in the 1950s. The frames depict a crowd, likely a political rally, with a car at the center. This piece, like many others from the series, captures a moment of social and political change in America. The contact sheets, which are a common photographic tool, contribute to the rawness and authenticity of the image. Frank's work in *The Americans* challenged the romanticized view of America by documenting the realities of poverty, racial injustice, and social isolation.
