Diane Arbus (14 mars 1923-1971 États-Unis)
Diane Arbus commence à pratiquer la photographie dès les années 1940.
Fille d'un fourreur, Diane grandit dans les quartiers chics de l'Upper West Side à New York. À l'adolescence, elle rencontre Allan Arbus, qui deviendra son mari et le père de ses deux filles.
Elle débute sa carrière en travaillant à ses côtés pour des magazines de mode comme Glamour, Seventeen ou Mc Call's. Au milieu des années 1950, elle acquiert une indépendance professionnelle et étudie alors à la New School de New York avec Alexey Brodovitch ; mais c'est à partir de 1957 en suivant les ateliers conduits par Lisette Model qu'elle trouve une réelle complicité artistique.
En 1963, puis en 1966, elle obtient une bourse de la fondation Solomon R. Guggenheim qui lui permet de concentrer son activité à New York et ses alentours. Elle se fascine pour les personnages hors normes, travestis, monstres de foire (les « freaks »), naturistes, jumeaux…
À la recherche d'expériences et de rencontres, elle multiplie les clichés, toujours en noir et blanc, et cherche à révéler l'intimité entre le photographe et la personne photographiée sans complaisance.
En 1967, elle participe à l'exposition New Documents qui se tient au Musée d'art moderne de New York avec des portraits qui côtoient les vues urbaines de Lee Friedlander et Garry Winogrand. Son travail reçoit un accueil controversé, mais ses photographies s'imposent comme de véritables oeuvres artistiques loin du simple reportage photographique.
Elle consacre les derniers mois de sa vie à une longue série réalisée dans des hôpitaux psychiatriques, qui ne sera publiée qu'après sa mort, sous le titre Untitled. Elle se donne la mort en juillet 1971 à Greenwich Village. Son travail aura marqué l'histoire de la photographie en influençant plusieurs générations d'artistes.

Actualité Journée de la femme et photographie : Diane Arbus #1
Diane Arbus est née à New York en 1923. Née Diane Nemerov, elle rencontre à 14 ans son futur mari Allan Arbus. Ce dernier assimile la photographie lors de son service militaire, et à son retour, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ils ouvrent ensemble un magasin de photo de mode. A ce moment-là, Diane Arbus n'est pas encore photographe même s'il elle s'y initie progressivement. Allan Arbus prend les photos, Diane Arbus est alors styliste et contacte les agences.
Ce n'est qu'en 1957 que Diane Arbus débute ses projets personnels. Elle se sépare de son époux en 1960, et étudie alors la photographie à la New School for Social Research à New York, aux côtés de Marvin Israel, R...Actualité 26 photographies de Diane Arbus offertes au SFMOMA
D'après l'agence ce contenu sur le marché de l'art AMA (Art Media Agency), « Le galeriste Jeffrey Fraenkel prévoit d’offrir 26 photographies de Diane Arbus au San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Pour le Los Angeles Time, cette donation fait de San Francisco une destination de choix pour la photographie.
Ces 26 photographies de Diane Arbus ont été réalisées entre 1969 et 1971. La photographe a principalement immortalisé des malades de différents hôpitaux et institutions pour cette série. Avec cette donation, le San Francisco Museum of Modern Art comptera 64 photographies de Diane Arbus, la plus importante collection de la côte ouest des États-Unis.

L'imposante revue propose une édition hors norme pour son anniversaire. Telle une compilation de chansons d'amour, la parole est donnée à cinquante personnalités de tous horizons. Comme un cadeau, ils ont choisi une photo « préférée » et en ont expliqué l'émotion et l'intimité. Le magazine se retrouve alors à incarner ce qu'il est à la base ; une rencontre. Il y a vingt ans, Elizabeth Nora et Vanessa van Zuylen Menesguen montaient le projet un peu dingue de créer une revue purement photographique. Ce projet a finit par aboutir. Et quel aboutissement !
Au fil des pages, on croise les choix d'écrivains, de designers, de réalisateurs, de créateurs, d...Livre Diane Arbus : Sans Titre
Sans titre est le troisième volume de l’œuvre de Diane Arbus, et le seul consacré exclusivement à un projet spécifique. Les photographies ont été prises dans les centres pour handicapés mentaux entre 1969 et 1971, pendant les dernières années de sa vie. La plus grande majorité de ces photos, dont elle avait songé faire le sujet d’un livre, est restée inédite jusqu’ici. Avec ces photographies, Diane Arbus atteint un lyrisme, une pureté émotionnelle, qui les distinguent du reste de son œuvre. « Enfin ce que je cherchais », écrivit-elle à l’époque. Résultat de son estime inébranlable pour la réalité telle qu’elle la ...Livre Diane Arbus : Une chronologie
A partir de l’importante correspondance qu’entretenait Diane Arbus avec ses amis, sa famille et ses confrères, mais aussi de ses carnets personnels et d’autres écrits inédits, cet ouvrage révèle, à la manière d’un journal intime, les pensées, les motivations et les stratégies de la célèbre photographe. Dans ce récit organisé autour des grands moments de sa vie, sa perception d’elle-même, de son travail et des personnes qu’elle rencontre offre pour la première fois au lecteur une vision intime de la femme qu’elle a été et de l’univers de ses photographies. Un important appareil critique ainsi qu’une biographie courte d’hommes et de femmes qui o...Livre 40 ans après : Diane Arbus sous le feux des projecteurs

La presse entière acclame ce travail longtemps jugé dérangeant, voire " pervers ", comme le disait Susan Sontag. Les collectionneurs s'arrachent les tirages à prix d'or. Quelqu'un manquerait-il à la fête ? Diane Arbus n'est plus là. En juillet 1971, à l'âge de 48 ans, un jour de moite chaleur new-yorkaise, un ami la trouve les veines tranchées dans sa baignoire.

What we see in Hopper's paintings when we look at them through the lens of photography, and how, in turn, the language of photography was influenced by Hopper's work, are the twin subjects of Edward Hopper & Company. Thoughtfully curated and edited by the respected San Francisco gallerist Jeffrey Fraenkel, seven paintings and three drawings by Hopper are here thematically interlaced with carefully selected photographs by eight of the masters of twentieth-century photography: Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander and Stephen Shore. As Fraenkel writes in...Livre Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph was originally published in 1972, one year after the artist's death, in conjunction with a retrospective of her work at the Museum of Modern Art. Edited and designed by Arbus's daughter, Doon, and her friend and colleague, painter Marvin Israel, the monograph contains eighty of her most masterful photos. The images in this newly published edition, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the collection's original publication, were printed from new three-hundred-line-screen duotone film, allowing for startlingly clear reproduction. The impact of the collection is heightened by the introduction, which contains excerpts of audio tapes in which Arbus discusses her experiences as a photographer and her feelings about the often bizarre nature of her subjects. Diane Arbus's work has indelibly i...Livre Diane Arbus - une Biographie Biographie de la très célèbre photographe américaine par Patricia Bosworth auteur connue entre autres pour son ouvrage Montgomery Clift.

Collection : BIOGRAPHIE
Langue : Français...Livre Diane Arbus : Ou le rêve du naufrage Diane Arbus est aujourd'hui un mythe et, trente-cinq ans après sa mort, son œuvre demeure l'une des plus fascinantes de l'histoire de la photographie du XXe siècle, tant par sa beauté que par la singularité des sujets abordés : les " monstres ", bien sÛr, mais aussi la solitude et la vieillesse, le corps et son image, la panoplie des déviations sexuelles, l'enfer du couple et de la famille, le spectacle de la laideur et le fantasme désormais commun de la reconnaissance ou de la célébrité. Sans oublier le portrait de l'Amérique si turbulente des années soixante, qui semble à mille lieues de celle que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. A la fois puissante, fragile et solitaire, Diane Arbus apparaît ici comme la figure centrale d'un conte de fées à rebours, sorte de descente tragique aux Enfers, qu'elle-même e...Livre Diane Arbus: A Biography Opportunities for sensationalism abound in a book about Arbus, who already had a history of severe depressions and a crumbling marriage by the time she began to take the controversial, technically innovative pictures of dwarfs, nudists and drag queens that won her a reputation as "a photographer of freaks." Bosworth balances the lurid details -- rumors that Arbus had sex with her subjects, that she photographed her own suicide in 1971 -- with a nuanced appraisal of an artist whose images captured the uneasy mood of the 1960s by expressing her personal obsessions. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

Portraits from the three take precedence here. Arbus and Model ventured into New York to find their gallery of faces, while Strömholm wandered through Paris. No matter where they went, their eyes were finely tuned to the variety of human emotion and experience passing on the sidewalks. Arbus's photographs here are drawn from the 60s, particularly those which were included in the first book devoted to her work published by Aperture in 1972. With Model emphasis is on her work in America from the 1940s onwards. Strömholm is primarily represented by pictures from Paris t...Livre Diane Arbus Langue : Français Éditeur : Aperture (23 octobre 2005)

...Vente 11th WestLicht Photo Auction "If I hadn’t photographed some things nobody would have seen them", Diane Arbus said.
Indeed, the photographer born in 1923 in New York saw many things in such a way that had not been known before and so revolutionised and marked photography as very few others have done.
Among her pictures, many of which have long since become 20th century icons, the "Identical Twins (Cathleen and Colleen)" from 1967 (lot 97, estimate €80,000 – €100,000) is probably the most well-known.
This and three others of her works, for example also "The King and Queen of a Senior Citizens Dance", New York 1970 (lot 95, estimate €50,000 – €70,000), are absolute highlights of the 11th WestLicht photo auction on 21 November 2014.

Over these past three decades, the Laurence Miller Gallery has hosted approximately 250 exhibitions, and the list of these shows reflects the evolution of photography from the classic black-and-white medium that dominated much of the 20th Century, to today's large-format color contemporary works, as well as video. The gallery takes great pride in having given many emerging photographers their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, as well as having presented many of photography's greatest masters.

“We have to make Vogue into a Louvre.”
Edward Steichen to Edna Woodman Chase, 1920s
These words said by Steichen to the first editor in chief of Vogue aptly summarized the revolution started by Condé Nast, both in fashion as well as in photography more generally, when the publisher acquired the prestigious Vogue masthead in 1909. From then on, the story of fashion was no longer told exclusively in delicate nineteenth-century illustrations, but also by great international photographers with creative license. Edward Steichen was one of the first photographer to shoot for Vogue, accepti...Exposition The FOAM presents an exhibition of two hundred photographs of Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus (1923–1971) revolutionized the art she practiced. Her bold subject matter and photographic approach produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity, in its steadfast celebration of things as they are. Her gift for rendering strange those things we consider most familiar, and for uncovering the familiar within the exotic, enlarges our understanding of ourselves.
Arbus found most of her subjects in New York City, a place that she explored as both a known geography and as a foreign land, photographing people she discovered during the 1950s and 1960s. She was committed to photography as a medium that tangles with the facts. Her contemporary anthropology—portraits of couples, children, carnival performers, nudists, middle-class families, transvestites, zealots, eccentrics, and...Exposition agnès b. présente l'exposition « la jeune fille dans la ville » au Salon de la Photo

Arbus found most of her subjects in New York City, a place that she explored as both a known geography and as a foreign land, photographing people she discovered during the 1950s and 1960s. She was committed to photography as a medium that tangles with the facts. Her contemporary anthropology—portraits of couples, children, carnival performers, nudists, middle-class families, transvestites, zealots, eccentrics, and celebriti...Exposition Diane Arbus, un mythe trop imposant ? Retrospective au Jeu de Paume.
Diane Arbus. Un des rares noms de la photographie à évoquer quelque chose au grand public et à inspirer des biopics romancés au cinéma (Fur, avec Nicole Kidman : http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=59947.html). Une icône, mais surtout un mythe étrange et torturé, où la photographie joue le rôle d'une baguette magique.
Du 24 janvier au 5 février 2012, nocturne jusqu'à 21h tous les jours sauf lundi.
S'attardant sur des sujets inattendus, et brisant en cela l'orthodoxie de la photographie commerciale qui l'entourait, Diane Arbus en dit au moins autant sur ses doutes et ses zones d'ombres que sur ceux des gens qu'elle prit en photo entre 1945 et 1970 aux Etats-Unis ; trisomiques, trave...Exposition NUDES Positions of Nude Art Photography
A group exhibition mainly curated from its own collection, displaying more than 40 photographers and their perspectives on mostly female nude art. Selected classics are supplemented with, in some cases, never before exhibited contemporary works of Blaise Reutersward, Nadav Kander, or Ralph Mecke.
The kaleidoscopic exhibition stretches from classical, nearly sculptural studio-stagings, as in the works of Horst P. Horst, Frantisek Drtikol, or Rudolf Koppitz, to the erotic and provocative images of Helmut Newton or Bettina Rheims, and extending to the series of documentary pictures by recently-deceased Larry Sultan, which originated off-set during pornographic shootings.
The studio-photography of the Pictorialists was followed by trend-setting picture experiments in the 1920s. Artists like Man Ray, Andr?© K&e...Exposition Dreamlands L’exposition Dreamlands développe un propos inédit : montrer comment les modèles de foires internationales, d’expositions universelles et de parcs de loisirs ont influencé la conception de la ville et de ses usages.
Démultipliant la réalité par la pratique de la copie, jouant d’une esthétique de l’accumulation et du collage souvent proche du kitsch, ces mondes clos et parallèles ont en effet inspiré les démarches artistiques, architecturales et urbanistiques au XXe siècle, au point de s’ériger en possible norme de certaines constructions contemporaines.
Cette exposition pluridisciplinaire rassemblera plus de trois cents oeuvres, mêlant art moderne et contemporain, architecture, films et docum...Exposition Biennale de la Photographie et de l' Architecture 2010
2010 et déjà la troisième édition de la biennale « Photographie et Architecture » de la Faculté d' Architecture La Cambre/Horta de l'université Libre de Bruxelles, anciennement institut Supérieur d' Architecture La Cambre.
17 expositions ainsi que des pièces extraites de la collection du Musée de la Photographie de Charleroi questionnent le thème de la célébration.
L'architecture a toujours eu, parmi ses vocations, celle de célébrer. L'étymologie latine des mots « célèbre » et « célébration » nous renvoie à la fois à la louange, au grand nombre et à la ritualisa...Exposition Photography! A special Collection from Leiden University The oldest known image of the camera obscura principle (1545), the original camera belonging to painter George Hendrik Breitner, daguerreotypes over 150 years old: Leiden University's photographic collection is unique in many ways. It is both the oldest and the largest museological photography collection in the country, telling the whole story of the emergence and development of photography. It also includes work by contemporary photographers, and 'classic' works by photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and Diane Arbus. The largest ever exhibition of pieces from this unique collection can be seen at The Hague Museum of Photography from 23 January.
Despite resistance from both artists and academics - who felt it was 'beneath them' - in 1953 Hans van de Waal, professor of art history at the Leiden University, began the un...Exposition Quelques Chefs-d'oeuvre incontestables ou inattendus - A la galerie Box, Bruxelles ...Exposition Familair feelings on the boston group Presenting all of the Boston Group active artists: David Armstrong, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Jack Pierson, Tabboo! Gail Thacker and Shellburne Thurber.
Since the mid 1970's, a group of American East Coast artists started defying the conventions of the photographic medium both from its technical and moral aspects, hence greatly influencing the means of representation during the late 20th century. The defence of veracity manifested itself through an unknown degree of exposed privacy by exposing socially non-legitimised ways of life, such as night-time characters, marginal lives, addictions, affections, sexual experiences and the genre or irruption of new models of social conformation. Its fundamental contribution consists in turning uneventful motives into interesting narratives, which up until then had not be...Exposition Biennale de photographie en Condroz 2009 Les expositions sont réparties dans huit lieux d’une région magnifique faite de nature, de calme, de maisons en pierre, de châteaux, de fermes… Nous proposons un nouveau circuit en boucle, de 30 km, au départ du centre culturel de Marchin, place de Grand-Marchin.

Sexy and the City shows the alluring, romantic and sometimes scandalous side of New York's people and places. Capturing private, intimate moments and blatant displays of sexuality, these photographs span the decades from the 1940s to the present day, taken in landmark locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and in the quiet, out-of-the-way corners of the city.
From Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic image of a kissing couple in Times Square on V-J Day, 1945, to Nan Goldin's drag queen on an anonymous New York street in the 1990s, from Garry Winogrand's topless woman surrounded by a crowd in Central Park to the homosexual couples photographed by Alvin Baltr...Exposition Right Through the Very Heart of It Right Through the Very Heart of It contrasts the icons and idiosyncrasies of New York, from the "vagabond shoes" to the "top of the heap," captured by some of the greatest photographers to roam these concrete streets.
Many of the medium's greatest innovators have made their name photographing the denizens and architecture that define our dear city. But such a diverse environment necessitates representing the grit as much as the glamour. In particular the exhibition will highlight sweeping vistas, architectural studies, street photography and street portraiture....Exposition Selected photograhs - From Brassaï to Cindy Sherman
For a number of years we have been gathering together a collection of photographs which has evolved into a substantial group, but has never been shown publicly. A selection of which we would now like to present in our exhibition 'Selected photographs. From Brassaï to Cindy Sherman'.
Our intentions are to provide a wide and representative cross section of our inventory, beginning in the late 1920s and continuing up to the present day. We focus on American and European photography; black and white, as well as color. We have chosen works - in addition to the significance of the individual artists according to certain central themes: the nude, landscapes, portraits and architecture, to name the most prominent.
Brassaï and Cindy Sherman are representative of the chronology of our selection, the ...Exposition Diane Arbus - Rétrospective imprimée, 1960-1971 Cette première rétrospective de l’oeuvre de Diane Arbus (1923-1971) jamais organisée en France depuis l’exposition du Musée national d’art moderne au Centre Pompidou en 1980, réunit l’ensemble des images commandées à la photographe new-yorkaise par la presse anglo-saxone dans les années 1960. Si certaines de ces photographies sont devenues des icônes de l’Amérique contemporaine et plus généralement, de l’histoire de la photographie, d’autres constituent de véritables découvertes.
La présentation statue sur une forme d’« anthropologie des images » qui interroge directement leur circulation et leur économie.
L’exposition présente les ...Exposition Face à face exposition Depuis les portraits en noir & blanc de Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan et August Sander, jusqu’aux oeuvres en couleur d’artistes contemporains tels Serge Comte, Thomas Ruff et Cindy Sherman, l’exposition «Face à face» propose une variation autour de la représentation de l’individu, de son visage comme de son attitude, à travers laquelle affleurent les notions d’identité.
Ouvert mardi et vendredi de 16h à 18h, mercredi de 10h à 13h et de 14h à 18h, samedi de 10h30 à 13h et de 14h à 16h30...Exposition FASHION 9 decades of fashion photography
Gallery Camera Work in Berlin presents from September 20th until November 15th an exhibition of fashion photography of the 20th and 21st centuries. This group exhibition provides a representative overview of the development of fashion photography from its beginnings in the 1920s to the present time. With over 250 works of a total of 65 photographers - many of which are vintages - one can trace the different trends of fashion photography.
The spectrum of the photographs on display ranges from the sometimes classic compositions of an Edward Steichen to the experimental photographs of Man Ray, from the sexual revolution to the resulting emancipation of women as shown for example by Helmut Newton, from the cool elegance of the 1990s - influenced by Peter Lindbergh - to the highly imaginative works of a Tim Walker. On...Exposition Female Trouble The camera as mirror and stage of female projection Since the invention of photography more than 170 years ago it has been largely women who have used this technical medium to project themselves through role playing and masquerading. As well as the experimental urge to constantly recreate ones ego, the camera has also served as a means of calling into question clichés of female representation. Playing with the image of the eternally feminine was and remains a discourse with gender identity, its social and political definitions and reaching beyond them.
The exhibition focuses on contemporary women artists such as Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Monica Bonvicini and Pipilotti Rist, who with the aid of photography and video art investigate the female image. The artists explore the question of what image patterns the media age employs for portraying femininity and how t...Exposition The New York School Alexei Brodovitch - Diane Arbus - Lee Friedlander - Lisette Model - Louis Faurer - Richard Avedon - Robert Frank - Sid Grossman - Ted Croner - Weegee - William Klein
Between the late 1930s and the early 1960s a group of young photographers living and working in New York City redefined street photography.
This group of artists became known as The New York School.
These photographers documented the post war energy and exotic chaos of New York City as it evolved from the crisis years of the Great
Depression and the Second World War through to the social turbulence of the early seventies. Most of them worked on magazines but it was their personal work that stood them apart.
They captured the choreography of the city from the sidewalks of downtown, to the intensity of Times Square, the isolation and elegance of the arc...Exposition SWITCHER SEX-Video Works and Photography from the Teutloff Collection Slought Foundation, Philadelphia is pleased to announce the first exhibition of works from the Teutloff Collection, Germany, featuring a selection of international artists whose film and video works examine the varied manifestations of the human body in contemporary society.

“Nothing is ever the same as they said it was. It's what I've never seen before that I recognize.”
Diane Arbus
