Critic Philip Gefter, whose collection of essays Photography After Frank was recently published by Aperture, will be speaking at The Detroit Institute of Arts Friday June, 4th.

Gefter was on staff at the New York Times for more than fifteen years where his roles included page one picture editor and senior picture editor for culture. Photography After Frank compiled texts written exclusively for the book as well as Gefter’s previous critical writings and articles written for the NY Times about such seminal photographers as Lee Friedlander, Richard Misrach, Ryan Mcginley, Katy Grannan, and of course, Robert Frank.

The event will include a book signing and the talk will examine the work of Frank and his relationship to Beat poets Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac among others.
