Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004

Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In August of 2007, Denmark's renowned Louisiana Museum of Modern Art presented Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004, the first major retrospective devoted to Avedon's work since his death in 2004. (With stops in Milan, Paris, Berlin and, Amsterdam, the highly-anticipated exhibition concludes in at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art in October of 2009.) This beautifully produced catalogue, designed by the renowned Danish graphic designer Michael Jensen, features deluxe tritone printing and varnish on premium paper, and includes 125 reproductions of Avedon's greatest work from across the entire range of his oeuvre--including fashion photographs, reportage and portraits, and spanning from his early Italian subjects of the 1940s to his 2004 portrait of the Icelandic pop star, Bjork. It also contains a small number of color images--including one of the most famous photographic portraits of the twentieth century, Nastassja Kinski and the Serpent (1981). Texts by Jeffrey Fraenkel, Judith Thurman, Geoff Dyer, Christoph Ribbat, Rune Gade and curator Helle Crenzien offer the most sophisticated and thorough composite view of Avedon's work to date. All color separations byRobert Hennessey.

Edited by Michael Juul Holm. Text by Michael Juul Holm, Helle Crenzien, Geoff Dyer, Judith Thurman, Christoph Ribbat, Jeffrey Fraenkel, Rune Gade.

This book is an exquisite display of Richard Avedon's talents. I'd seen his work before but I was greatly moved by the '08 exhibition in Paris. It was pure joy to revisit these poignant visuals captured in this beautifully crafted book. The portraits are crisp, high quality prints. These are not just pictures, but somehow private peeks into souls, an art that enriches our lives with the experience.
