ARTnews | Richard Avedon: Beyond Fashion

For more than 40 years Richard Avedon has been one of the most successful and widely imitated photographers in the world. On hundreds of magazine covers, he has chronicled every ruffle and flourish of style that has coursed through American life since World War II. Over the past decade he has established himself as a major figure in the art world to a greater extent than any living photographer before him, with exhibitions at some of the most prestigious museums in the United States and Europe.
