Published to accompany Gagosian’s first major Richard Avedon exhibition, this is a striking large-format monograph built around four of his monumental photographic murals from 1969 to 1971, reproduced in full gatefolds. It moves through Andy Warhol’s Factory, the radical agitators of the Chicago Seven, Allen Ginsberg’s circle of family and friends, and searing portraits from the Vietnam era, alongside related single portraits and archival material including Avedon’s own diaries and contact prints. A serious addition for anyone building a portrait photography collection or studying Avedon’s work directly from the source rather than a retrospective anthology.
