Amy Arbus: Photographs from On the Street 1980-1990

Mitchell • Giddings Fine Arts is proud to present Amy Arbus, On the Street 1980 – 1990, Saturday, October 10, from noon to 7:00 pm., with an appearance by the artist from 5:00 – 7:00. The exhibition continues through November 22.

“Between 1980 and 1990, over 500 of photographer Amy Arbus’s impromptu and edgy portraits of New Yorkers appeared in the Village Voice’s monthly fashion feature, ‘On the Street.’ The column’s missive was to document the city’s most adventurous trendsetters as they went about their lives… She combed the streets looking for those who were dressed for success and poised for fame. By focusing on the fearlessly non-conformist, her photographs offer a startling and seamless blend of fashion, portraiture, and street theater.” (A.M. Homes)
