Avedon at the Gagosian Gallery
December 7th, 2013
I was lucky enough to see the new Richard Avedon exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery earlier this month. I have been a huge fan of Avedon’s work since my day’s at art school, so when I heard that the Beverly Hills based gallery was hosting a retrospective of the iconic photographers work, I had to go and see it.
The exhibition focus’s on his distinct imagery of women, both famous and more anonymous. As always, capturing his subjects against a stark white backdrop making his images more intimate, emotional and iconic. With a great mix of larger exhibition prints from the 70’s and collections of the contact prints from his time as a fashion photographer in the 50’s and 60’s. It’s a must see exhibition if you are in town.
