Book signing tonight! NYC

Stephen: A current student at ICP. A really cool guy. Great photographer. And super nice for letting me scan at his place back when I was in nyc. His City Kids project is one of my favorites. Hopefully it turns into a book someday soon.

Geordie has been doing some really great editorial work recently. You may have seen some of his photos in The Fader, Complex, Newsweek and a few others. Follow him on Tumblr

Diane Arbus (1923–1971) is widely recognized as one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century. On the fortieth anniversary of Arbus’ death, Aperture, the long-time publisher of Arbus’s seminal works, and present an exclusive and rare opportunity to hear directly from the artist.

The slide lecture by Diane Arbus is an original audio recording of a 1970 slide presentation by Diane Arbus in which she speaks about photography using her own work and other photographs, snapshots and clippings from her collection. Compiled and edited by Neil Selkirk, Doon Arbus and Adam Shott. It is the only extant recording of Arbus and one in which she eloquently discusses her work and her motivations.

Who is Marvin Israel? [2005] is a short documentary on the life and work of the enigmatic Marvin Israel (1924-1984), artist, designer, art director, and teacher. Israel’s influence on Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, and Lee Friedlander, among others, is explored in the words of those who knew him. Directed by Neil Selkirk.

This presentation coincides with the highly anticipated release of Diane Arbus: A Chronology as well as the reissue of the universally acknowledged classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph and Untitled: Diane Arbus, with image separations specially prepared for these new editions by Robert J. Hennessey using prints by Neil Selkirk.  This event co-sponsored by the BFA Photography, MFA Photography, Video and Related Media and MPS Digital Photography Departments at the School of Visual Arts.

A reception will follow the screenings where books will be available for sale.
