Diane Arbus in L.A.

GETTY CENTER

Museum Lecture Hall



Arthur Lubow, author of the new biography Diane Arbus: Portrait of a Photographer, discusses Arbus's work in L.A. Other than New York, Los Angeles is the only place the famed photographer returned to as a subject for her work, creating famous images at Disneyland, the Universal Studios lot, and in Mae West's Santa Monica home, among other locations. Her Los Angeles work expresses themes that concerned Arbus throughout her life.
