Robert Frank is considered the inventor of street photography. Many of his pictures were shot from the hip , from the moving car in the middle of a bar or even hidden in the park.

So it is therefore only logical that Frank's recordings for once not worth millions assured Gelatin Silver Prints are shown framed for eternity , but on paper, from which the Süddeutsche Zeitung is made every day. The complete works of Robert Frank is printed by Gerhard Steidl by acrylic inkjet printing on up to four meters long paths of newspaper and then glued directly onto the walls.
