Robert Frank: The Americans at Art Basel Unlimited

Delve into photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank's seminal body of work, The Americans, with this new film featuring images from the series and archival narration from several sources, including the artist himself. Captured during Frank's two-year trip across America from 1955 to 1957, the 83 photographs in The Americans, which the artist selected from his total of 28,000 images, represent a collective portrait of American identity, culture, and politics-inflected by racial, economic, and regional divisions-at the middle of the 20th century.
This year, which marks the centenary of Frank's birth, we're presenting the third and final set of photographs from The Americans at Art Basel Unlimited. This never-before-exhibited set of images includes an 84th photograph, a triptych image that the artist added to the end of the sequence for Aperture’s 1978 edition of The Americans.
