I love Diane Arbus, but I'm resigned to having books of her work, not actual photos.

Signed by Doon Arbus for that price? That's some serious gallery tax.
Dealers, Scalpers, what's the difference?

Yes.. Signd by Doon Arbus..!!
Diane Arbus signed Very few prints during her short life.... those few that exist with her signiture sell even at auction for over $100,000.
Doon (the Estate executor)worked with photographer and friend Niel Selkirk to create the majority of the Arbus photos available.

Isn't there something out there
