Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph, 1972, np
Diane Arbus’ celebrated work, A young Brooklyn family going for a Sunday outing, N.Y.C. was featured in the article ‘Two American Families’ published by the Sunday Times Magazine on 10 November 1968.
Arbus met stylish young mother Marylin Dauria, who fashioned herself after Elizabeth Taylor, on the subway in 1966 and scheduled a photo session at the home she shared with her husband Rick and their two small children.
From the many pictures she took that day, Arbus selected this image of the couple with their infant daughter Dawn and mentally handicapped son Richard Jr., just before they got in their car to go on a Sunday drive for the article.
The image, with lot 13, A Jewish giant at home with his parents in the Bronx, N.Y.C., 1973 featured in Arbus's highly acclaimed, A box of ten photographs, the portfolio of Arbus's finest images.
