拍品专文

Diane Arbus's brilliant use of contrapposto places her nude waitress along a straight line from Botticelli's Birth of Venus to the bathers of Rineke Dijkstra.
This print inscribed 'For Jay' was a gift to Jay Gold, the lawyer who helped her get her car repaired by the unscrupulous dealer who had sold it to her knowing that it needed work.
