Diane Arbus, a great American photographer and writer, took her pictures mostly in black and white, and usually her subjects were people different from "normal." She liked watching dwarfs, transgender people, nudists in various locations, and so her photos are extremely interesting not only from a historical or cultural perspective. The exhibition of her most famous works has been collected and shown in Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin, from June, until the end of September 2012. A magnificent set!
But it also seems that at Martin Gropius Bau they already have another great event coming, since on September 20th they launch "Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album," "a spectacular portfolio of over four hundred vintage photographs taken by Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) in the 1960s."This sounds like a treat! It will be open until the end of December 2012.
