Universally acknowledged as a masterpiece of photobook history, “Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph” transformed the medium upon its release a year after the artist’s death. This 2011 cloth-bound hardcover edition provides a luxurious physical presence to the 80 iconic plates. Using digital separations for the first time, Aperture ensured the haunting psychological depth of Arbus’s subjects—from circus performers to everyday New Yorkers—is rendered with unprecedented technical clarity. It includes an introductory text compiled from Arbus’s own writings.
