New York City 6 1960

"New York City 6" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1960. It shows a series of contact sheets, arranged in strips, revealing the photographer's process of capturing the urban landscape. The contact sheet format showcases the spontaneity of street photography and the editing choices made during the creation of the final print. Frank's iconic book "The Americans" (1959), which this image is part of, revolutionized documentary photography with its raw and intimate portrayal of American life. The contact sheets offer a glimpse into the photographer's vision and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a dynamic city.
