Book Description

0810983893 978-0810983892 June 1, 2009 First
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal, May 28, 2009
This review is from: Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING! INSPIRING!, August 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 (Hardcover)
Living in New York, I was lucky enough to see "Avedon Fashion 1944-2000" at the International Photoraphy Center. Avedon's work is so beautiful! The book is a must have for any fashion fan. As a makeup artist, I was completely inspired by the looks through the years. And the section at the exhibit entitled "Paris at Night" is just magical (those photos can be found in the book in the 1950's section). Highly recommend this book to any fashion fan, photographer, stylist makeup artist, etc. for inspiration or just for the beauty of it all. Fantastic!
