Thank you...

A presentation of a selection of messages that have been sent to Frank in the last 40 years, revealing who has most influenced him. Included are postcards from Jack Kerouac, as well as from unknown young Argentinian photographers. These are combined with a number of Frank's photographs.

Robert Frank is one of the most famous and respected living American photographers. At the same time, he has remained an enigmatic personality to most of the public. Who is Robert Frank, really? How does he live, who are his friends? In this charming volume, edited in collaboration with photographer Ed Grazda, Frank presents a selection of postcards and letters that have been sent to him in the last 40 years, revealing who has been close to and who has most influenced him. Included are postcards from Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg, and other well-known figures, as well as from young photographers, introducing a Robert Frank no outsider has ever seen. The combination of photos and texts is deeply poetic, making this a wonderfully personal gift book.
