Richard Avedon: Portraits

by Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon: Portraits Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Spanning the artist's entire career, from the late 1940s through his most recent work, "Richard Avedon Portraits" offers a superb selection of his photographic portraits. Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 50 photos.

Review:

"His trademark images of people standing against white backdrops, at once unflinching and glamorous in their effect, have helped define our idea of celebrity itself (if Avedon shot them, they must be famous). This slipcased, accordion-fold collection of 50 black and white portraits from the past 50 years....offers, in essence, a greatest hits collection of well-known faces — Andy Warhol, William Burroughs, and that pale, hairless beekeeper covered in bugs." Publishers Weekly
