Frank, Robert: Frank Films - The Film and Video Work of Robert Frank. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2009. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Paperback without jacket (as issued). 170 x 240 mm. 304 pages. Black and white photographs throughout. Edited and introduction by Brigitta Burger-Utzer and Stefan Grissemann. Texts by Stefan Grissemann, Philip Brookman, Amy Taubin, Bert Rebhandl, Thomas Mießgang, Kent Jones, Michael Barchet and Pia Neumann. Book design by Karl Ulbl. By the maker of 3 of the most important photobooks ever published: Les americains/The americans (Martin Parr , The Photobook , page 247), Flower Is (Martin Parr , The Photobook, page 264) and The Lines of my hand (Martin Parr, The Photobook, page 261). "I put my Leica in a cupboard. Enough of lying in wait, pursuing, sometimes catching the essence of the black and the white, the knowledge where God is. I make films. Now I speak to the people in my viewfinder." (Robert Frank) "Robert Frank turned to filmmaking at the end of the 1950s. Although he has made 27 films, the work is largely a well kept secret. Frank approaches each film project as a new experience, challenging the medium and its possibilities at every turn. He has amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres. This book offers a visually unique approach to Frank's films: only new stills taken from videotapes have been used and they add up to a visual essay on Frank's cinema that establishes an engaging dialogue with his photographic work. Each film is introduced with detailed analysis, discussing the history and the aesthetics of Frank's film work. An interview with Allen Ginsberg provides an insider view. Together the texts and images offer an innovative and in-depth approach to the oeuvre of one of the greatest and most restless artists of the 20th century."

Frank, Robert and Gerhard Steidl: Zero Mostel reads a book. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2008. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Hardcover without jacket (as issued). 137 x 202 mm. 40 pages, 36 tritone plates. Book design by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl. By the maker of 3 of the most important photobooks ever published: Les americains/The americans (Martin Parr , The Photobook , page 247), Flower Is (Martin Parr , The Photobook, page 264) and The Lines of my hand (Martin Parr, The Photobook, page 261). "When Robert Frank had completed his first two films, he accepted a commission for a photo-book from the New York Times, which became Zero Mostel Reads a Book. In it Frank takes the comic actor Zero Mostel (1915-1977) for hissubject, and depicts him in cartoonish dimensions-bemused, baffled and apoplectic, as he makes his way through an unidentified hardback volume, seated at a table or on a sofa in a large lounge area. Originally published "for the fun of it" in 1963 and dedicated to the American bookseller, the book was intended as a present for customers yet it never reached the book market. It has been a collector's item since. Zero Mostel Reads a Book references a series of theatrical and playful vignettes in which Mostel's most famous roles-Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Max Bialystock in The Producers-are clearly signaled. It is a delightful moment of slapstick in Frank's oeuvre, and directly reflects his emphasis on the moving image at the time." (from the publisher) Robert Frank was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1924 and went to the United States in 1947. He is best known for his seminal book The Americans, first published in 1959, which gave rise to a distinct new art form in the photo-book, and his experimental film Pull My Daisy, made in 1959. His other important projects include the book Black White and Things (1954) the book Lines of My Hand (1972) and the film Cocksucker Blues (1972). Frank's work has been the subject of major exhibitions around the world and is included in many significant public and private collections. He divides his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.***************Steidl, Göttingen. 2008. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe.
