Prima edizione inglese (First English Edition). . <p><em>"<strong>Untitled</strong> is the third volume of Diane Arbu's work and the only one devoted exclusively to a single project. The photographs were taken at residences for mentally retarded between 1969 and 1971, in the last years of Arbus's life. Although she considered doing a book on the subject, the vast majority of these pictures have remained unpublished until now".</em></p> <p><em>Beginning in 1969 and continuing through the last two years of her life, Diane Arbus traveled regularly by bus to New Jersey to photograph people at residences for the developmentally and intellectually disabled. Her first destination, the coeducational Woodbridge State School, was just across the Hudson from her Manhattan apartment. Quite soon, though, she determined that an all-female institution in Vineland, in the southern part of the state, provided richer opportunities.  Arbus exposed roughly 1,900 frames of film in these institutions; she committed suicide in July 1971 without having fully edited or titled the pictures. It fell to her older daughter, Doon, to decide what constituted the series, relying (but perhaps not exclusively) on images Arbus chose to print. A book published under Doon's auspices in 1995 included 51 pictures.<br /><br /><br />"<strong>Untitled</strong> è il terzo volume dedicato al lavoro di Diane Arbus, e l'unico dedicato esclusivamente a un singolo progetto: le fotografie sono state scattate in residenze per ritardati mentali tra il 1969 e il 1971, negli ultimi anni della vita di Arbus. Sebbene lei volesse fare un libro su questo argomento, la stragrande maggioranza di queste immagini sono rima
