When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, she
was already a significant influence—even something of a
legend—among serious photographers, although only a relatively
small number of her most important pictures were widely known at
the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in
1972—along with the posthumous retrospective at The Museum of
Modern Art—offered the general public its first encounter with the
breadth and power of her achievements. The response was
unprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and
designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus’s friend and
colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making the
book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by
which Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she
hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a classic,
Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with
editions in five languages and remains the foundation of her
international reputation. Nearly half of a century has done nothing
to diminish the riveting impact of these pictures or the
controversy they inspire. Arbus’s photographs penetrate the psyche
with all the force of a personal encounter and, in doing so,
transform the way we see the world and the people in it. This is
the first edition in which the image separations were created
digitally; the files have been specially prepared by Robert J.
Hennessey using prints by Neil Selkirk.
關於作者：
Diane Arbus--born Diane Nemerov in New York City in
1923--married Allan Arbus at the age of eighteen. She started
taking pictures in the early 1940''s and studied photography with
Berenice Abbott in the late 1940''s and with Alexey Brodovitch in
the mid 1950''s. It was Lisette Model''s photographic workshops,
however, that inspired her, around 1957, to begin seriously
pursuing the work for which she has come to be known.
