Background information
"The photographic volume 'Paris' by Robert FRANK is the first time that the significant body of photographs which he made in Paris in the early 1950s have been brought together in a single book. His visit to Paris in 1951 was his second return to Europe after he had settled in New York City in 1947 and some of the images he made during that visit have become iconic in the history of the medium.
Content
The eighty black-and-white photographs in th photo book 'Paris' were selected by Robert FRANK and Ute Eskildsen to suggest that his experience of them so named 'new world' had sharpened his eye for European urbanism. He saw the city’s streets as a stage for human activity and focused particularly on the flower sellers. His work clearly references Eugene ATGET and invokes the tradition of the flaneur."
