Robert Frank – Mary’s Book
December 21, 2024–June 22, 2025
This exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts celebrates the centennial of photographer Robert Frank’s (1924–2019) birth. It 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. Created in 1949, the one-of-a-kind, handmade book represents a formative moment in Frank’s career when he experimented with juxtaposing images and text. Seventy-four small photographs and their accompanying inscriptions reveal Frank’s appreciation for the poetic resonance of objects and spaces.
