On display are about 200 works from the 1970s onwards, including Frajndlich’s earliest vintage prints from Cleveland. The streets, whether in New York, long his home, or wherever his journey led him, provided an ongoing stage. A chance meeting on the streets of London with John Kobal, the collector and publisher of 20th-century Hollywood portraits, led to pursuing ideas about identity, freedom, and photography.

Commissioned throughout the 1980s and 1990s by FAZ magazine, Frajndlich was able to provide his insight into the American art scene. Extensive series of Cindy Sherman, Nancy Spero, and David Ireland are good examples and on view here for the first time.
