Diane Arbus IV

Four People at a Gallery Opening, NYC 1968

This motley crew comes off as hoity toity and oo-la-la as they appear to schmooze it up at a fancy schmancy gallery showing. What makes this photograph odd is there is no sign of art. The wall sockets make this visit with high society seem sad and slightly pathetic thus making this blue collared gal chuckle. I guess a trip to the Upper West side isn't all that after all.
(I must confess that I find the lady of this photo to be a real stunner. That gown is a fabulous as her hair, makeup, and baubles.)
