THE AMERICANS by Robert Frank Photo Collection

About the productJapanese

A collection of works by Swiss photographer Robert Frank. A groundbreaking volume that represents one of the most important photographic bodies of work in history. Reissued in 2024.

Seventy years after its publication as Les Américains by Delpire in France in 1958 and The Americans by Grove Press in 1959, this book has become one of the most influential and enduring works of American photography. Through 83 photographs taken across the country, the photographer reveals a previously unknown side of America, confronting the dark side of racism, corruption and injustice, and the harsh realities of the American Dream. Steeped in humanity and lyricism, his striking and obsessive perspective paints a poignant and irreplaceable portrait of a country at a crossroads in history.

More than half a century after the 1968 APERTURE and MoMA editions, APERTURE is now resurrecting this iconic book in a new edition to coincide with the author's 100th birthday and his first major solo exhibition at the MoMA, "Life Dances On: Robert Frank in Dialogue," based on the finest tritone printing of the 2008 Steidl edition (published to mark the 50th anniversary of the publication), which the author personally participated in every step of the design and production.
