ROBERT FRANK (Zurich 1924 - Nova Scotia 2019) "Rainy day", c. 1955. Gelatin silver on Agfa paper. Signed in ink in lower left corner. Provenance: Christie's Paris, Photographies 10/11/2020, Lot 107. Measurements: 41 x 30 cm; 66,5 x 58 cm (frame). Robert Frank was a Swiss photographer and documentary filmmaker, who also became an American citizen. His most notable work is the 1958 book The Americans, which earned Frank comparisons to De Tocqueville because his photography provided a fresh and nuanced view of American society from the outside. Critic Sean O'Hagan, wrote in The Guardian in 2014, that The Americans "changed the nature of photography, what it could say and how it could say it. It remains perhaps the most influential photography book of the 20th century." Frank later explored other fields such as film and video and experimented with photo manipulation and photomontage. Robert Frank was born in Zurich, Switzerland, into a Jewish family. Frank and his family remained safe in Switzerland during World War II. He trained with several photographers and graphic designers before creating his first handmade photography book, 40 Photos, in 1946. Frank emigrated to the United States in 1947 and got a job in New York City as a fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar. In 1949, Camera magazine's new editor, Walter Laubli (1902-1991), published a substantial portfolio of Jakob Tuggener's photographs taken at high-class shows and in factories, along with the work of the 25-year-old Frank, who had just returned to his native Switzerland after two years abroad. He soon left for South America and Europe and created another book of handmade photographs he took in Peru. He returned to the United States in 1950 where he met Edward Steichen, and participated in the group show 51 American Photographers at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Although initially optimistic about American society and culture, Frank's perspective quickly changed when confronted with the fast pace of American life, which he saw as an overemphasis on money. It was then that his images began to show America as an often desolate and lonely place. Frank's own dissatisfaction with the control that editors exerted over his work also undoubtedly influenced his experience. He continued to travel, moving his family briefly to Paris. In 1953, he returned to New York and continued to work as a freelance photojournalist for magazines such as McCall's, Vogue and Fortune. By associating with other contemporary photographers such as Saul Leiter and Diane Arbus, he helped form what Jane Livingston has called the New York School of photographers during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1955, Frank achieved further recognition with Edward Steichen's inclusion of seven of his photographs in the Museum of Modern Art exhibition. In 1955 Frank was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to travel the United States and photograph society. The cities he visited included Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan; Savannah, Georgia; Miami Beach and St. Petersburg, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Reno, Nevada; Salt Lake City, Utah; Butte, Montana; and Chicago, Illinois. He took his family with him for part of his series of road trips over the next two years, during which time he took 28,000 photos of which only 83 were selected by him for publication in The Americans. He had his first solo show at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a year later exhibited a second time at MoMA. In 1972 the Kunsthaus Zürich held a major retrospective of his work.

EDWARD STEICHEN (Luxembourg, 1879 - West Redding, Connecticut, 1973). "The sea", 1904. Platinum photograph mounted on original black paper on cream paper (original). Presents label on the back of German collection (Hamburg 1971). Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 13 x 17,5 cm; 29 x 37 cm (frame). Edward Steichen was a key figure in 20th century photography, directing its development as a leading photographer and influential curator. Steichen arrived in the United States in 1881. He painted and worked in lithography, before turning to photography in 1896, and first exhibited photographs at the Philadelphia Salon in 1899. Steichen became a naturalized citizen in 1900 and, after exhibiting at the Chicago Salon, received the support of Clarence White, who introduced him to Alfred Stieglitz. Steichen practiced painting in Paris intermittently between 1900 and 1922; there he met Rodin and was in contact with modern art movements, so he was able to advise Stieglitz on the selection of exhibitions. In 1901 he was elected a member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood in London, and in 1902 he co-founded the Photo-Secession and designed the first cover of Camera Work, in which his work was often published. In New York, Steichen helped Stieglitz establish the Small Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which became known as "291," and in 1910 he participated in the International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography in Buffalo. During World War I, he directed aerial photography for the Army Expeditionary Forces. Shortly thereafter he gave up painting, along with the vestiges of Pictorialism, and adopted a modernist style. He was chief photographer for Condé Nast from 1923 to 1938, while doing freelance advertising work. Commissioned as a lieutenant commander in 1942, Steichen was appointed director of the U.S. Naval Photographic Institute in 1945; there he supervised combat photography and organized the Road to Victory and Power in the Pacific exhibitions. He was director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art from 1947 to 1962, and was responsible for more than fifty exhibitions, including The Family of Man in 1955, the most popular exhibition in the history of photography. Steichen received countless awards and honors, including the title of Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, an honorary fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Art Directors Club of New York Award, the U.S. Camera Achievement Award for "Most Outstanding Individual Contribution to Photography" (1949), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1963). Major exhibitions of his work have been held at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, the ICP and the George Eastman House.
