Summary

'Avedon 100' celebrates Avedon's enduring influence on photography and makes clear his profound impression on visual culture worldwide. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Gagosian, New York, in 2023, this striking illustrated catalogue celebrates the centenary of the iconic photographer's birth. Over one hundred celebrated artists, designers, musicians, writers, curators, and figures from the world of fashion were asked to select a photograph by Avedon and elaborate on the ways in which both the image and artist have made an impact on their lives. Participants include Hilton Als, Naomi Campbell, Elton John, Spike Lee, Sally Mann, Polly Mellen, Kate Moss, Chloë Sevigny, Taryn Simon, Christy Turlington, and Jonas Wood. 'Avedon 100' celebrates Avedon's enduring influence on photography and makes clear his profound impression on visual culture worldwide. The book represents various periods from his oeuvre, including the widely known In the American West series, images of the social justice movement, classic portraiture, advertising, and fashion work. The photographs reproduced reveal the enormous and fascinating diversity of Avedon's subjects, while the commentary offered by the celebrated selectors underscores the breadth and longevity of his legacy. Exhibition: Gagosian, New York, USA (04.05. - 24.06.2023).
