    Reviews
    This book's singular cover, shot by a camera facing a woman facing a set of pictures, nicely sets up the complexity of gaze and position alive in this book. The result is that to me this book feels both ordinary and extraordinary. Small details reveal the care and precision of the design choices. I especially appreciate the advertising, page numbers and edges that are left uncropped. These (un)cropping choices allow the viewer points of meaningful entry to the document's historic and social context. Dizzyingly arranged and layered, but maintaining a core of readability, these 'documents' become both a landscape and a relic--one to be read, viewed and re-examined., 'MoMA just thought this [their groundbreaking 1972 Arbus retrospective] was going to be another show,' said Jeffrey Fraenkel, the dealer who co-represents Arbus's estate. But 'it was an earthquake,' a once-in-a-generation moment. This week, for its 50th anniversary, Fraenkel and David Zwirner gallery are restaging the exhibition at Zwirner's West 20th Street outpost in Manhattan. They are also publishing a 500-page book of writings about Arbus called 'Documents'...MoMA's Arbus show has since taken on an element of myth, but 'Documents' also chronicles a significant backlash.

    Synopsis
    Through an assemblage of articles, criticism, and essays, Diane Arbus: Documents charts the reception of the photographer's work and offers comprehensive insight into the critical conversations, as well as misconceptions, around this highly influential artist. Best known for her penetrating images exploring what it means to be human, Diane Arbus is a pivotal and singular figure in American postwar photography. Arbus's black-and-white photographs demolish aesthetic conventions and upend all certainties. Both lauded and criticized for her photographs of people deemed "outsiders," Arbus continues to be a lightning rod for a wide range of opinions surrounding her subject matter and approach. Critics and writers have described her work as "sinister" and "appalling" as well as "revelatory," "sincere," and "compassionate." Illuminating fifty years of evolution in the field of art criticism, Documents provides a new template for understanding the work of any formidable artist. Organized in eleven sections that focus on major exhibitions and significant events emerging from Arbus's work, as well as on her methods and intentions, the seventy facsimiles of articles and essays--an archive by all accounts--trace the discourse on Arbus, contextualizing her inimitable oeuvre. Supplemented by an annotated bibliography of more than six hundred entries and a comprehensive exhibition history, Documents serves as an important resource for photographers, researchers, art historians, and art critics, in addition to students of art criticism and the interested reader alike., Known for her evocative portraits, Diane Arbus is a pivotal figure in American postwar photography. Undeniably striking, Arbus's black-and-white photographs capture a unique gaze. Criticized as well as lauded for her photographs of people deemed "outsiders," Arbus continues to attract a diversity of opinions surrounding her subjects and practice. Critics and writers have described her work as "sinister" and "appalling" as well as "revelatory," "sincere," and "compassionate." In the absence of Arbus's own voice, art criticism and cultural shifts have shaped the language attributed to her work. Organized in eleven sections that focus on major exhibitions and significant events in Arbus's life, as well as on her practice and her subjects, the seventy facsimiles of articles and essays--an archive by all accounts--trace the discourse on Diane Arbus, contextualizing her hugely successful oeuvre. Also with an annotated bibliography of more than six hundred entries and a comprehensive exhibition history, Documents serves as an important resource for photographers, researchers, art historians, and art critics, in addition to students of art criticism and the interested reader alike.
