Diane Arbus by Marvin Israel6/26/2023 ![]() In 2006, the motion picture Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as Arbus, presented a fictional version of her life story.Īrbus was born Diane Nemerov to David Nemerov and Gertrude Russek Nemerov, a Jewish couple who lived in New York City and owned Russek's, a famous Fifth Avenue department store. Between 20, Arbus and her work were the subjects of another major traveling exhibition, Diane Arbus Revelations. The book accompanying the exhibition, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph, edited by Doon Arbus and Marvin Israel and first published in 1972 was still in print by 2006, having become the best selling photography monograph ever. Millions viewed traveling exhibitions of her work in 1972–1979. ![]() In 1972, a year after she died by suicide (there exists a popular cliche of her being the Sylvia Plath of photographers), Arbus became the first American photographer to have photographs displayed at the Venice Biennale. Her work has been described as consisting of formal manipulation characterized by blatant sensationalism. Diane Arbus (/diːˈæn ˈɑːrbəs/ Ma– July 26, 1971) was an American photographer noted for photographs of marginalized people-dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers-and others whose normality was perceived by the general populace as ugly or surreal. ![]()
