Diane Arbus Revelations
March 8, 2005–May 30, 2005
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Diane Arbus (1923–1971) was one of the most original and influential American artists of the 20th century. This retrospective exhibition, the first in more than 30 years, presents the artist's signature images—such as Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, N.Y.C., 1962 and A Jewish giant at home with his parents in the Bronx, N.Y., 1970—as well as
previously unpublished photographs and writings drawn from the artist's archive. The show traces the artist's full achievement from her early experiments with the camera in the 1940s to her mature portraiture of the 1960s.
Accompanied by a publication.
The exhibition was organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
In New York, the exhibition is made possible by The John and Annamaria Phillips Foundation and Altria Group, Inc. The international tour is made possible by the Evelyn D. Haas Exhibition Fund and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
