(American, born Switzerland, 1924-2019) is one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century who arrived in New York City in 1947 and lived between there and Nova Scotia until his death last year. With the support of his first Guggenheim Fellowship in 1955, Frank made a two-year road trip across the United States, resulting in his landmark book, The Americans. Frank moved fluidly between mediums - photography, film, and photobook - for most of his career, incorporating text and experimental processes into his often autobiographical work.
