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unpublished photographs in the context of the iconic images reveals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.
