Comment(s): This edition authorized and supervised by Doon Arbus. There is little doubt that the series of pictures “Untitled 1970-71” are among Diane Arbus’s most controversial images. She spent a long time trying to gain permission to shoot in institutions for the severely handicapped before finally gaining access in 1969. The best-known pictures feature a group of patients from New Jersey dressed in their Halloween masks. Arbus considered the project – labeled 'Untitled' by her daughter, Doon, after her death – as part of her longstanding objective "to photograph everybody". Having experimented with using flash in daylight, Arbus also felt these photographs were among her most technically successful. While these powerful pictures may remain shocking, they are a statement of Arbus’s bold commitment to photographing everyone, especially those on the margins of society (courtesy National Galleries of Scotland).
