The text in the lede, "The first major retrospective of Arbus’ work was held in 1972, a year after her death, at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City, where she lived for most of her life." is taken verbatim from [1] (which is cited elsewhere in the article, but not here). It's not clear to me whether this is symptomatic of any wider issue. Chubbles (talk) 18:37, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@Chubbles: I've significantly altered the text in question in the lead. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I didn't look deeper into when the text was added, so there may be additional content lurking. I don't know if you or anyone else is actively tending to this article or interested in improving it, but I guess it's also worth noting that the lede is generally larded with puffery and essay-like, non-neutral or anachronistic assessments of Arbus's work.
