by: Rosenheim, Jeff L

Hardcover. NY, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1st, 2016, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 240 pages. A collection of Arbus's photographs from her formative years, 1956-62; 125 images in all, more than half published here for the first time. No dust jacket issued. This book is the definitive study of the artist's first seven years of work, from 1956 to 1962. Drawn primarily from the rich holdings of the Metropolitan Museum's Diane Arbus Archive--a remarkable treasury of photographs, negatives, appointment books, notebooks, and correspondence--it is an essential contribution to our understanding of Arbus and her oeuvre.
