Robert Frank: Away

Colored records of Robert Frank’s homes, travels and the people around him, the Polaroid photographs gathered in this set express the artist’s immediate environment. Four small books in a slipcase, Away presents images of Frank’s life at and beyond his homes in New York and Mabou, Nova Scotia–hotel rooms, self-portraits, seascapes, a sunset cast on a door frame, orchids on a windowsill against a shifting grey sky. Ever restless, Frank delights in playing with the sequence of his Polaroids, constructing an unfinished autobiography while expanding the possibilities of the instant photograph.
