Contact Sheet, 1969

Fraenkel Gallery presents Robert Adams: Contact, an exhibition pairing a selection of iconic photographs with their original contact sheets. On view for the first time, the contact sheets reproduce every frame from a single roll of medium format film, offering unprecedented insight into Adams’s process and thinking. The exhibition makes clear that Adams’s precise arrangements of clouds, trees, and roads did not come easily. Rather, they are the result of the artist’s relentless search for form and meaning.

The exhibition is accompanied by a new monograph published by Fraenkel Gallery.
