Diane Arbus, An Aperture Monograph - Hardback

Description: Product InformationDiane Arbus - An Aperture Monograph - Aperture, Copyright 1972 - "Ninth Printing" This work is not only the best selling photography monograph of all time but also likely Aperture's most important publication-- which is saying a great deal considering the works they have published. A collection of mostly portraits of marginalized peoples shot in the years prior to Arbus' suicide in 1971. This title is found on nearly every list of the most important, influential, collectable, etc., art and photography books of the 20th century. When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, she was already a significant influence--even something of a legend--among serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important pictures were widely known at the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972--along with the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art--offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus's friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. This book is a special edition published in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Set in linofilm Janson by the Poole Clarinda Company. Printed by Rapoport Printing Corporation and bound by Sender Bindary. Copyright 1972 by Doon Arbus and the Estate of Diane. Arbus.
