[no discernible wear to book; the jacket shows just a trace of handling wear]. (B&W and color photographs) "A kind of autobiography" of the renowned photographer, who died in 1971 at the age of 48, prepared by her eldest daughter Doon Arbus. Published in conjunction with a comprehensive exhibition that premiered at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2003, the book reproduces two hundred full-page images and more than three hundred additional photos, the latter as part of a 104-page Chronology (comprising nearly one-third of the volume) which also incorporates excerpts from her letters, notebooks, and other writings. Also included: "The Question of Belief," an essay by Sandra Phillips, curator of the SFMoMA exhibition; "In the Darkroom," a discussion of Arbus's printing techniques by Neil Selkirk; an Afterword by Doon Arbus; and biographical entries on a number of the photographer's friends and colleagues. An indispensible work for anyone who admires Arbus's work. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
