ROBERT FRANK (B. 1924)

In 1952, Robert Frank worked with his friend the graphic designer Werner Zryd to create the book Black, White and Things. The image in the present lot appeared as the first plate of the publication. Only three copies of the handmade book were assembled: One Frank gave to his parents, one he gave to Edward Steichen (now in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York) and the third he kept for himself (now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).
