To ensure the ongoing availability of Diane Arbus Revelations,
Aperture is proud to release this vitally important volume on the
fiftieth anniversary of the posthumous 1972 Arbus retrospective at
the Museum of Modern Art and the simultaneous publication of Diane
Arbus: An Aperture Monograph. Revelations explores the origins,
scope, and aspirations of Arbus's wholly original voice. 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. Presenting many of her lesser-known or previously
unpublished photographs in the context of the iconic images reveals
a subtle yet persistent view of the world. The book reproduces two
hundred full-page duotones of Diane Arbus photographs spanning her
entire career. It also includes a new contribution by Sarah
Meister, executive director of Aperture, alongside essays by Sandra
S. Phillips, senior curator of photography, emeritus, at the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and a discussion of Arbus's
printing techniques by Neil Selkirk, the only person authorized to
print her photographs since her death. An extensive chronology by
Elisabeth Sussman, guest curator of the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art show, and Doon Arbus, the artist's eldest daughter, is
illustrated by more than three hundred additional images and
composed primarily of excerpts from the artist's letters,
notebooks, and other writings, amounting to a kind of
autobiography. An afterword by Doon Arbus precedes biographical
entries on the photographer's friends and colleagues, compiled by
Jeff L. Rosenheim, curator in charge of the Department of
Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. These
texts help illuminate the meaning of Diane Arbus's controversial
and astonishing vision.
The seminal work by photographer and artist Roger Ballen,
re-released in an expanded edition with never-before-seen images
from Ballen's archive. The culmination of nearly 20 years of work,
Outland marked Ballen's move from documentary photography into the
realms of fiction and propelled him into the international
spotlight. Disturbing, exciting and impossible to forget, Ballen's
images captured people living on the fringes of South African
society. His powerful psychological studies influenced a generation
of artists and still resonate today. First published in 2001,
Outland is back in print and expanded to include 50
never-before-seen images from Ballen's archive with illuminating
new commentary from the artist himself.

The Seventh Dog is a new monograph/photobook by American
photographer Danny Lyon. Organised chronologically, this artist's
book tells the story of Danny Lyon's 50-year-career as one of
America's most original and influential documentary photographers.
Groundbreaking as a photobook in itself, Lyon tells this story
starting in the present day and going back in time to the beginning
of his career in the 1960s when he photographed the American civil
rights movement and the Chicago bikeriders. Through text and image
- colour and b&w photographs, original photo collages, letters
and other ephemera (many published here for the first time), and
Lyon's own writings - this is a story of Danny Lyon's personal
journey as a photographer - a story about photojournalism, the move
from film to digital photography, about Lyon's life and quest as a
photographer, and of America.
The first comprehensive overview of an influential American
photographer and filmmaker whose work is known for its intimacy and
social engagement Coming of age in the 1960s, the photographer
Danny Lyon (b. 1942) distinguished himself with work that
emphasized intimate social engagement. In 1962 Lyon traveled to the
segregated South to photograph the civil rights movement.
Subsequent projects on biker culture, the demolition and
redevelopment of lower Manhattan, and the Texas prison system, and
more recently on the Occupy movement and the vanishing culture in
China's booming Shanxi Province, share Lyon's signature immersive
approach and his commitment to social and political issues that
concern those on the margins of society. Lyon's photography is
paralleled by his work as a filmmaker and a writer. Danny Lyon:
Message to the Future is the first in-depth examination of this
leading figure in American photography and film, and the first
publication to present his influential bodies of work in all media
in their full context. Lead essayists Julian Cox and Elisabeth
Sussman provide an account of Lyon's five-decade career. Alexander
Nemerov writes about Lyon's work in Knoxville, Tennessee; Ed Halter
assesses the artist's films; Danica Willard Sachs evaluates his
photomontages; and Julian Cox interviews Alan Rinzler about his
role in publishing Lyon's earliest works. With extensive back
matter and illustrations, this publication will be the most
comprehensive account of this influential artist's work. Published

"Diane Arbus: A Chronology" is the closest thing possible to a
contemporaneous diary by one of the most daring, influential and
controversial artists of the twentieth century. Drawn primarily
from Arbus' extensive correspondence with friends, family and
colleagues, personal notebooks and other unpublished writings, this
beautifully produced volume reveals the private thoughts and
motivations of an artist whose astonishing vision derived from the
courage to see things as they are and the grace to permit them
simply to be. Further rounding out Arbus' life and work are
exhaustively researched footnotes that amplify the entire
chronology. A section at the end of the book provides biographies
for 55 family members, friends and colleagues, from Marvin Israel
and Lisette Model to Weegee and August Sander. Describing the
"Chronology" in "Art in America," Leo Rubinfien noted that
"Arbus... wrote as well as she photographed, and her letters, where
she heard each nuance of her words, were gifts to the people who
received them. Once one has been introduced to it, the beauty of
her spirit permanently changes and deepens one's understanding of
her pictures." The texts in "Diane Arbus: A Chronology" originally
appeared in "Diane Arbus: Revelations." This volume makes this
invaluable material available in an accessible, unique paperback
edition for the very first time.
Diane Arbus (1923-1971) revolutionized the terms of the art she
practiced. Three volumes of her photographs have been published
posthumously by Aperture and have remained continuously available.

An aesthetic and social history of art and dance in
mid-20th-century New York interpreted by contemporary artist Nick
Mauss Over the past decade, Nick Mauss (b. 1980) has pursued a
hybrid mode of working that melds the roles of curator, artist, and
scholar. Following his highly acclaimed 2018 Whitney Museum of
American Art exhibition Transmissions, this volume elaborates on
the artist's complex portrait of mid-century New York as seen
through the prism of modernist ballet. By pairing installation
views of the exhibition and photographs of its daily performances
by Paula Court and Ken Okiishi with reproductions of artworks,
ballet programs, and fashion magazines, Transmissions animates the
vividly enmeshed social and artistic networks that shaped both
modern art and modern ballet. Through his emphasis on the
collaborations and intimacies between models, dancers,
photographers, choreographers, painters, sculptors, filmmakers,
publishers, critics, amateurs, and devotees, Mauss re-calibrates
the standard narrative of American modernism to locate performance,
spectatorship, and the eroticized body at its center. Transmissions
features reproductions of documents and artworks-a number published
here for the first time-by Paul Cadmus, George Platt Lynes,
Dorothea Tanning, Carl Van Vechten, Isamu Noguchi, Pavel
Tchelitchew, Walker Evans, Ilse Bing, PaJaMa, Man Ray, Maya Deren,
Marcel Duchamp, Elie Nadelman, Eugene Berman, Peter Hujar, and many
more. Additional texts address the subjects of ballet and the body,
Mauss's work as an artist and curator, and performance within
museum spaces, while an extensive conversation with the sixteen
dancers who participated in the Whitney exhibition brings rare
insight into the labor of making performance-based work while
negotiating diverging legacies of embodiment. Distributed for the

"The work of the sculptor Rachel Harrison is both the zeitgeist and
the least digestible in contemporary art. It may also be the most
important, owing to an originality that breaks a prevalent spell in
an art world of recycled genres, styles, and ideas."-Peter
Schjeldahl, The New Yorker In her sculptures, room-sized
installations, drawings, photographs, and artist's books, Rachel
Harrison (b. 1966) delves into themes of celebrity culture, pop
psychology, history, and politics. This publication, created in
close collaboration with the artist, explores twenty-five years of
her practice and is the first comprehensive monograph on Harrison
in nearly a decade. Its centerpiece is an in-depth plate section,
which doubles as a chronology of Harrison's major works, series,
and exhibitions. Objects are illustrated with multiple views and
details, and accompanied by short texts. This thorough approach
elucidates Harrison's complicated, eclectic oeuvre-in which she
integrates found materials with handmade sculptural elements,
upends traditions of museum display, and injects quotidian objects
with a sense of strangeness. Six accompanying essays cover
Harrison's earliest works to her most recent output. The book also
includes a handful of photo-collages that the artist created
specifically for this project. Published here for the first time,
these pieces superimpose found images with reproductions of
Harrison's own past work. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of
