First published in 1972, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph remains a landmark in photographic history, celebrating the groundbreaking work of one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Released shortly after Arbus’s death and accompanying a retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, this monograph introduced the public to the haunting and deeply personal world of Diane Arbus's photography.

Featuring 80 meticulously curated images, the book was edited and designed by painter Marvin Israel and Arbus’s daughter, Doon Arbus, with the aim of staying true to Diane’s exacting vision. Known for her compelling portraits of individuals on the fringes of society, Arbus’s work continues to evoke intense emotional and intellectual responses, redefining the way we see the human condition.

This 2011 edition, produced with digitally created image separations by Robert J. Hennessey from prints by Neil Selkirk, preserves the clarity and impact of the original while enhancing its timeless visual power. Universally acknowledged as a classic and available in multiple languages, the monograph is essential for both photography enthusiasts and newcomers to Diane Arbus's revolutionary art.

 

“Her photographs penetrate the psyche with all the force of a personal encounter.”
A testament to the enduring influence of Arbus’s work, this book continues to inspire and challenge perceptions, decades after its first release.
