This 1972 Aperture monograph is a cornerstone of photographic history, established in tandem with Arbus’s MoMA retrospective. The volume includes her introductory text compiled from class recordings, providing rare insight into her philosophy. The 80 plates were originally printed by Rapoport Printing Corporation using high-quality duotone processes available at the time. It is a vital document for collectors and historians, representing the first time Arbus’s work was presented as a cohesive, powerful body of art to the general public.
