Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph

Discover the compelling world of one of photography's most influential artists. When Diane Arbus passed away in 1971, she had already become a legendary figure in the realm of serious photography, though only a handful of her most impactful works were widely recognized. The release of this monograph in 1972, coinciding with a retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, introduced the public to the full breadth and depth of Arbus's achievements, eliciting an unprecedented response.

This monograph, featuring 80 of Arbus's most powerful photographs, was carefully edited and designed by her friend and colleague Marvin Israel and her daughter Doon Arbus. Their dedication to preserving Arbus's artistic vision and presenting her work as she intended makes this book a faithful representation of her legacy. Universally acknowledged as a photobook classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph has been published in five languages and remains the cornerstone of her international reputation.
