Robert Frank at Danziger Gallery

Robert Frank’s iconic photo series ‘The Americans’ presented a complicated and unheroic picture of the country in 1955. At Danziger Gallery on the Lower East Side, 81 contact sheets (from among thousands) allow viewers to see the shots before and after those selected for publication. Here, a baby in ‘Café-Beaufort, South Carolina’ is not as alone as she appears. (On view through April 8th).
