The publication of Diane Arbus: an Aperture Mongraph in 1972 — along with the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art — offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus's friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged a classic, Diane Arbus: an Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages and remains the foundation of her international reputation.
