A collection of photographs from the celebrated American photographer Diane Arbus, bringing together for the first time the work she produced during the final few years of her life. Born in New York in 1923, Arbus was an influential photographer in the 1960's. Her originality, both of subject matter and technological approach, attracted acclaim before her death in 1971 aged 48. There was a posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972. With an afterword written by the photographer's daughter, Doon Arbus, this is the third volume of Arbus' work and the only one devoted to a single subject. The 52 photographs were taken at residences for the mentally retarded between 1969 and 1971.

Seller's Description:
Arbus, Diane. Folio, (112 pp. ), chiefly b&w photographs with an essay by the artist's daughter. A fine, as new copy in illustrated dw, still sealed in the publisher's shrinkwrap. A beautifully printed edition of Diane Arbus' final series of work, it is entitled "Untitled, " as Arbus left it at the time of her death. The images of patients at mental and adult care facilites are tinged with irony; adults dressed as children, abnormal bodies appearing beautiful to convey the honest connection between photographer and subject.
