Product Description

Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 encompasses seven decades of extraordinary images by Richard Avedon, the most influential fashion photographer of the 20th century.
This comprehensive volume offers a definitive survey, from Avedon's groundbreaking early photographs for Harper's Bazaar through his constantly inventive contributions to Vogue, Egoiste, and The New Yorker. Each carefully selected image represents an artistic collaboration with significant models, stylists, and designers. Avedon Fashion accompanies the first major exhibition to survey this body of work, at the International Center of Photography in May 2009. With critical essays by Carol Squiers, curator at the ICP, and photography critic Vince Aletti, as well as an appreciation by photo-historian Philippe Garner, Avedon Fashion chronicles an astonishing record of photographic achievement.

Customer Reviews

Phenomenal5
I bought this book after seeing the exhibition of Avedon's work at the International Center for Photography in NYC. Check out the exhibit - Avedon's imagery is so inspired and unique. His inspiration still reveberates in today's photography - all the great fashion photogs of today borrow from him. A must have.

Oh the GLAMOUR, the ACTION!5
This book is BEAUTIFUL. It makes me smile just to LOOK at it on my table. What with the winking eye hologram on the front!
The photos are clear and well presented. Avedon is a genious. You will NOT be disappointed.

AVEDON PURE STYLE5
The catalogue of the exhibition held in New york International Center of fotography in New York is a trip into the immaginific world of Richard Avedon.
Cronolgically organised, the book follows the same structure of the exhibition.
All the pictures seen this summer in the temple of fotografy are here reprduced in full page or double page.
The quality is superb and the written parts are the most interesting guide to understanding the lifetime work of the master of fashion photografy.
A must have for professionals and admirers.
