Pierre Leguillon features
\nDiane Arbus: a printed retrospective, 1960-1971<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together all the images commissioned to the New York photographer by the Anglo-Saxon press in the 1960s. Leguillon\u2019s exhibition will present the original pages of the magazines, which correspond to the first appearance of these photographs in publications such as Harper\u2019s Bazaar, Esquire, Nova,<\/em> and The Sunday Times Magazine<\/em>. While some of these photographs have become icons of contemporary America, others are yet to be discovered. The variety of subjects dealt with offers a wide perspective on Diane Arbus\u2019 talent, ranging from anonymous subjects to celebrity portraits of Norman Mailer, Jorge Luis Borges, Mia Farrow, Marcello Mastroianni, Madame Martin Luther King, children\u2019s fashion, to several photographic essays in which the images are credited or commented by the photographer herself (\u201cThe Vertical Journey,\u201d \u201cThe Full Circle,\u201d \u201cAuguries of Innocence.\u201d The unprecedented connections realized in Pierre Leguillon\u2019s display underline the currency of photography in contemporary art.<\/p>\n
