Diane Arbus’s Woman in Her Negligee, N.Y.C. exemplifies her signature approach to portraiture - unflinching, intimate, and psychologically charged. Arbus was drawn to individuals in moments of quiet self-presentation, capturing a raw, almost confrontational honesty that set her apart from her contemporaries. Her work redefined documentary photography, shifting it from objective observation to deeply personal engagement with her subjects. This image reflects her enduring interest in themes of identity, vulnerability, and the tension between public and private selves. Prints of this image are held in major institutional collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Los Angeles, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston as well as the Centre Pompidou in Paris. – A rich tonal print in excellent condition.
