NEW YORK — The estate of Diane Arbus has presented the photographer's complete archives to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a gift.
The archives include hundreds of photographs, negatives and prints of 7,500 rolls of film, hundreds of glassine print sleeves, pages from her diaries, books from her home and studio, and family pictures.
Arbus committed suicide in 1971.
The museum has also purchased 20 of her most famous photographs from the Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, which represents her estate.
