In 2022 Yves Saint Laurent and Magnum Photos collaborated with Arthur as part of an exhibition series called Self, which explores the spirit of the Parisian house.[13] In 2022, Arthur's work was included in the exhibition curated by Charlotte Cotton, Close Enough: New Perspectives from 12 Women Photographers of Magnum, at the International Center of Photography in New York City from 27 September 2022 to 9 January 2023.[14] The exhibition's title was inspired by Magnum co-founder Robert Capa's quote "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough," and includes projects from 12 living women Magnum Photos members.[15]
