Through Her Lens: Diane Arbus at Park Ave Armory | 7/31



Through Her Lens: Diane Arbus at Park Ave Armory | 7/31
Join us on Thursday, July 31st for a transformative afternoon at the Park Avenue Armory as we experience Diane Arbus: Constellation — the largest and most complete presentation of her work ever shown in New York.
This immersive and unconventional installation features over 450 photographs, including many never-before-seen prints, all created by Neil Selkirk, Arbus’s former student and the only person authorized to print from her negatives.
Set within the vast, historic space of the Armory, we’ll take a self-guided ‘discovery hunt’ through the space starting at 6 PM, exploring the portraits and stories that made Arbus a radical force in 20th-century photography. Her images of people living on the fringes of society continue to challenge, provoke, and move audiences more than fifty years after her death.
This constellation-style layout encourages intuitive wandering, allowing you to connect the dots between images and discover meaning through your own path — a quiet, reflective journey through chance, chaos, and human connection.
🗣️ “Her memorable work … transformed the art of photography.” — The New York Times
🗣️ “Extraordinary … how fresh it continues to feel.” — The Guardian
Art-full members are invited to continue discussing their findings over food and drinks at Eastpole after the exhibit.
