Guggenheim 616--San Francisco 1956

"Guggenheim 616--San Francisco" (1956) is a contact sheet by Robert Frank, a seminal figure in American photography. It displays a sequence of 35mm negatives, offering a glimpse into the creative process of the artist. The contact sheet format, common in the mid-20th century, reveals the unedited, raw imagery captured by the photographer's camera. The scenes, likely from a street photography shoot in San Francisco, showcase Frank's distinct style - candid and often gritty, capturing everyday life in the city. This piece, part of the famed "The Americans" series, demonstrates Frank's influential approach to social documentary photography.
