Diane Arbus

Hard to find copy of the first edition of this frequently reprinted collection of photos by ARBUS. So complete with the photo, which can only be found in this first edition. This book was edited and designed by Marvin Israel and Doon Arbus, Diane her daughter. This book has been published in collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art (New York) and accompanied a major exhibition of the photographs of Diane ARBUS. “Arbus replaced photography’s old model of smarmy humanism with a vision that was at once pitiless and engaged, tough and surprisingly tender” (Vince Aletti).
