The coffee table book "Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph," first published in 1972, shows the breadth and power of her photographic achievements. The response to the photo book at the time was unprecedented.
When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of 48, she was already a major influence - even something of a legend - for serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important photographs were widely known at the time. The coffee-table book "Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph," first published in 1972, shows the breadth and power of her photographic achievements. The response to the photo book at the time was unprecedented.
The monograph, composed of 80 photographs, was edited and designed by painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus' friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in producing the book was to remain as true as possible to the standards by which Arbus judged her own work and the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally recognized as a picture book classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages and remains the foundation of her international reputation. A quarter century has done nothing to diminish the compelling impact of these photographs or the controversy they evoke. Arbus' photographs penetrate the psyche with the power of a personal encounter, changing the way we see the world and the people in it.
