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.
