Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum

Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum is a significant new publication presenting previously unseen and rarely seen work by one of photography’s most important and provocative figures. Arbus — whose portraits of marginalised figures, circus performers, identical twins, and the wealthy elite challenged comfortable assumptions about photography’s relationship to the normal and the deviant — is represented here in a volume that extends the understanding of her work and her methods. Published by Gagosian with scholarly commentary, this is an essential acquisition for serious photography collectors and enthusiasts, and for anyone seeking a deeper engagement with a photographer whose influence on contemporary image-making continues to be immense and contentious.
