DIANE ARBUS AT DAVID ZWIRNER

Join fellow alumni for networking over a special, Director-led tour of Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum, an upcoming exhibition of forty-five photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971. 
 
Diane Arbus is one of the most original and influential photographers of the 20th century. An American photographer, she studied with Berenice Abbott, Alexey Brodovitch, and Lisette Model and her photographs were first published in Esquire in 1960. Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, she was frequently invited into homes and other private realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, her photographs evidence no sense of intrusion or trespass. Instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment. Arbus’s desire to know people embraced a vast spectrum of humanity.
