Robert Frank's book "Paris" presents a collection of 80 photographs capturing Paris in the early 1950s, highlighting his unique perspective as a Swiss photographer influenced by his time in New York City. This compilation marks the first occasion these significant photographs are assembled in a single volume. Taken during his 1951 visit, Frank's images focus on the vibrancy of urban life, notably the flower sellers, reflecting an awareness of European urbanism. The work resonates with the traditions of Atget and the flaneur, showcasing the city as a lively stage for human activity. This book benefits from the collaboration with editor Ute Eskildsen, who, along with Frank, carefully curated the selection.
