The definitive biographical reference on Arbus and her work
An irresistible visual object containing a treasure trove of more than 500 duotone and four-color images
A best-selling and award-winning title, newly back in print
Aperture is proud to bring this best-selling and indispensable title back into print, coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of Diane Arbus's groundbreaking solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. A richly illustrated chronology serves as the narrative core of Diane Arbus: Revelations, exploring the origins, scope, and aspirations of this wholly original force in photography. Arbus's frank treatment of her subjects and her faith in the intrinsic power of the medium have produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity, in its steadfast celebration of things as they are. In addition to the incisive texts and extensive research, Revelations reproduces two hundred full-page duotones of Diane Arbus photographs spanning her entire career. The Aperture edition also includes a new contribution by Sarah H. Meister, executive director of Aperture.
Diane Arbus (1923-1971; born in New York) revolutionized the terms of the art she practiced. In addition to Diane Arbus: Revelations, four other volumes of her work have been published posthumously and have remained continuously in print: Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph (1972), Untitled: Diane Arbus (1995), Diane Arbus: A Chronology (2011), and Diane Arbus: A box of ten photographs (2018).
