About the Item

Biker in a mirror black and white photograph Gravure print by Burk Uzzle 1980 Gravure print (1984, France). Burk Uzzle is an American photojournalist, previously member of Magnum Photos and president of Magnum from 1979-1980. The photographer Burk Uzzle has a habit of being in the right place at the right time — a knack he mostly credits to patience. His eye for composition transforms the quotidian into the iconic and he has captured many landmark moments in American history, such as Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral, Woodstock and peace demonstrations. For 35 years I went to Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the trip never failed to offer delightful surprises. Each year the American culture revealed certain timely trends with drama, and each year was different. Body parts, however, remained a constant,” Uzzle says.' Bike Week in Daytona Beach does have its fashion tradition,” Uzzle says. “Skin comes in many sizes, some vintage, some contemporary. Decoration transcends function.” less.

Robert Frank Untitled from the Americans, 1958, Beats Culture, Black & White
By Robert Frank
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Robert Frank Untitled from the Americans, 1958, Beats Culture, Black & White. Photogravure print, mid-century, France,wax tissue mounted on conservation matboard. Influenced by the work of Jakob Tuggener and Bill Brandt, as well as Walker Evans, Frank, a native of Switzerland, Frank was fascinated by documentary photography and the notion and image of "America." Frank secured a Guggenheim fellowship in 1955 to do something new and unconstrained by commercial diktats. "The Americans" was first published in 1958 in France, before its first run in the US in 1959. The photographs were shocking and notable for their distanced view of both high and low strata of American society, creating a complicated portrait of a period that was, then and now, considered to be a skeptical portrait of post-WWII American values but also deeply empathetic and profoundly evocative of ubiquitous loneliness. Frank found a tension in the gloss of American culture and wealth over race and class differences, which gave his photographs a clear contrast to those of most contemporary American photojournalists, as did his use of unusual focus, low lighting and cropping that deviated from accepted photographic techniques. Shortly before the book was published in France, Frank returned to the US (1957) and met Jack Kerouac on the sidewalk outside a party. They started chatting. Frank showed him some of his photographs. Kerouac immediately told Frank "Sure, I can write something about these pictures." Kerouac would write the introduction to the American edition of the book, published two years later. Sociologist Howard S...
