Diane Arbus, an Aperture Monograph — FIRST UK EDITION

Out of Stock

“One of the highlights of 20th century photographic literature” . – “When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of 48, she was already a significant influence-even a legend-among serious photographers, although only a small number of her pictures were widely known. The publication of Diane Arbus : An Aperture Monograph in 1972, and the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, offered the public its first encounter with Arbus’ achievements”

One of the best and most copied photobooks of all
