Diane Arbus retrospective at Berlin's Gropius Bau presents 454 prints, many never shown before

The exhibition 'Diane Arbus: Konstellationen' at Berlin's Gropius Bau is the largest showcase of the photographer's work, displaying 454 prints until 18 January. Many of these images have not been seen by the public before. Originating from LUMA Arles and the Park Avenue Armory, the exhibition features Arbus's black-and-white portraits from the late 1950s that challenge conventional aesthetics. The layout invites visitors to explore non-chronologically, mirroring her relational approach. Prints were prepared by Neil Selkirk, a former student. Arbus made history as the first photographer to be featured in the Venice Biennale and on the cover of Artforum. Her renowned portfolio includes 'Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967.' Gropius Bau's Director, Jenny Schlenzka, noted that recent retrospectives have solidified her legacy.
