Diane Arbus Topless Dancer In Her Dressing Room Yvonne d'Angers Framed Photo

Up for sale is a classic, framed black-and-white print of Diane Arbus’s iconic 1968 photograph. While historically misidentified in some early literature as Carol Doda, the subject is actually the legendary San Francisco North Beach performer and activist Yvonne d'Angers, captured in her dressing room at the Off Broadway club.

This striking image beautifully showcases Arbus’s trademark documentary style—contrasting the glamour of d'Angers' sequined gown and feathers with the gritty, everyday textures of her backstage environment.

Condition & Details:

Print: Crisp black and white contrast. Appears to be an archival book plate or high-quality exhibition print, professionally framed.

Frame: Housed in an elegant, vintage-style gold metallic frame with a clean white mat. The frame shows minor vintage wear consistent with age but displays beautifully.

Backing: Sealed backing with a small hanging loop mechanism (shows some light wear on the reverse cardboard/paper layer, see photos).

Please Note: This is a vintage art print/reproduction piece, not an original gelatin silver estate print. It makes an incredible, affordable display piece for collectors of mid-century photography, counterculture history, or Diane Arbus’s legendary body of work.

Please review all photos carefully for details on the frame, matting, and reverse side condition. Shipping includes secure, padded packaging to ensure safe arrival.
