Meredith Yayanos of Coilhouse featured this photograph during Centaur week. She said this of Witkin’s work:

Is there another photographer living whose sublime darkroom necromancy conveys quite the same level of beauty, horror, ferocity, compassion, grace and grotesquerie as Witkin’s? Doubtful.

Yayanos provides links to many of his books in her post.

A number of Wikin’s works are available at Edelman Gallery.
