Celebrating the centenary of the birth of Diane Arbus, LUMA Arles presents Constellation, an exhibition constituting the most comprehensive presentation to date of the work of this unparalleled photographer.
Taking the form of an immersive installation, the exhibition curated by Matthieu Humery will consist of the complete set of printer’s proofs of more than 450 images (some of them still unpublished) made by Neil Selkirk, a student of hers and the only person since the photographer’s death permitted to print from her negatives. Constellation is integral to the initial idea for LUMA Arles’ Living Archives program and as part of the LUMA Foundation / Maja Hoffmann Collection, this unique display will offer visitors a labyrinthine journey through the heart of Diane Arbus’s work, allowing them freely to discover or rediscover her images through new perspectives.
Join photographer, Neil Selkirk, and the Head of Photography Worldwide at Christie's, Darius Himes, for a two-part conversation around "What Diane Arbus Wasn't Doing". The pair will speak on July 6 at the Rencontres d’Arles's Theatre Antique and on July 8 at LUMA Arles. This presentation is part of the Rencontres d’Arles program.
