Celebrating the centennial of photographer Robert Frank’s birth, “Robert Frank: Mary’s Book” takes an in-depth look at the personal scrapbook of photographs Frank made for Mary Lockspeiser, the woman who became his first wife, titled "Mary’s Book" (1949). Seventy-four small photographs and their accompanying inscriptions reveal Frank’s appreciation for the poetic resonance of objects and spaces. The book is a reflection on solitary contemplation that reads like a lyrical poem and compelling personal photographic sequence. Explore the exhibition with Kristen Gresh, Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Senior Curator of Photography, and look closely at Frank's "Mary’s Book," which represents a formative moment in the artist’s career.
