Re: Robert Frank photo... Robert: Actually I think that's a Winogrand photo, (if it's the one taken from above
and the side looking down while the car is driving), but there's a real
similar Frank taken from behind a convertible with a couple kind of glaring
at him. I kept hoping I would meet Robert Frank but the place is such
that I've never even conversed with the curator. But I did get to spend an
afteroon looking though work prints from the Americans, which was fun.
Frank was around all day a couple of months ago, but I never crossed paths.
I went to this lecture the other day...
needed to work the levers to get his work done (He used to help Walker Evans
take photographs and Evans both rewrote Frank's Gugenheim application and sat on
the Board of Trustees which evaluated it.) ==============
